RESEARCH/REVIEW ARTICLE Instrumentation and handling effects on Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella)
The use of biologging instruments has greatly improved our understanding of the behaviour, physiology and ecology of free-ranging marine mammals. However, handling wild animals and attaching instruments to streamlined bodies can cause stress and potentially influence behaviour and swimming/ diving e...
