Food habits of harp seals (Phoca groenlandica) during lactation and moult in March-May in the southern Barents Sea and White Sea
In 1989–1993, data were collected from the Barents Sea stock of harp seals ( Phoca groenlandica ) sampled in the period from lactation to the middle of the moulting season (March–May). Lactating harp seals sampled in the White Sea in early March appeared to have been feeding moderately, mainly on cr...
