Feeding habits of northeast atlantic harp seals (phoca groenlandica) in the Barents Sea, August - September 1987
Stomach samples from 59 harp seals have been examined for a qualitative and quantitative analysis of their feeding habits in the Barents Sea. The most frequent food items were the amphipod Parathemisto libellula (55% vol.), fish (34% vol.) and the decapod Pandalus borealis (9% vol.). Of the fish pol...
