The distribution of foraging activity for female Antarctic fur seals was investigated at Cap Noir (4907S, 7045E), Kerguelen Island in February 1998. Eleven females were fitted with a satellite transmitter and time-depth recorder. The 2 data sets were combined in order to locate diving activity of th...
