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.
