The distribution of foraging activity for female Antarctic fur seals was investigated at Cap Noir (49°07¹S, 70°45¹E), 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 o...
