The diet of Antarctic fur seals, Arctocephalus gazella, during the summer-autumn period at Mossman Peninsula Laurie Island (South Orkneys)
From mid January to April 1988 a total of 105 faecal samples of non breeding male fur seals, Arctocephalus gazella, was collected at Mossman Peninsula, Laurie Island. Examination of scats containing prey remains showed that fur seals fed mainly on krill, occuring in 100% of samples but fish were als...
