Diet of Antarctic fur seals Arctocephalus gazella at the Danco Coast, Antarctic Peninsula
The diet of non-breeding male Antarctic fur seals, Arctocephalus gazella , was investigated at the Danco Coast, Antarctic Peninsula, by the analysis of 31 and 149 scats collected from January to March 1998 and 2000, respectively. Overall, fish and krill, followed by penguins and squids, were the mos...
