Maintenance and Update Frequency: irregular Purpose To measure foraging and reproductive success of seal and bird species in the Southern Ocean. Data collected to measure foraging and reproductive success. Stored as time series data including mass, condition (fat stores), length, girth, offspring survival and growth. Data collected and methodology used varies depending on species.
