Hot spot foraging depths of southern elephant seal males at the Filchner Trough outflow, Southern Weddell Sea
The region around the sill of the Filchner Trough outflow (77°S, 36°W) is considered a hot spot, both in terms of biology and physical oceanography. The factors contributing to this oceanic area of enhanced food availability and its relation to physical processes are not yet understood. Animal-borne...
