Diet of the harbour seals Phoca vitulina of Dundrum Bay, north-east Ireland
This study has shown that the main constituents of the diet of the harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) of Dundrum Bay, County Down, north-east Ireland, during the past few years (1995^2000) have been small £at¢sh and gadid ¢sh, with the emphasis shifting from the beginning to the end of the study period...
