Important aspects of prey distribution for the formation of foraging areas of chinstrap penguins and Antarctic fur seals at Seal Island
Abstract: Variables of prey availability between inshore and slope/offshore foraging areas were ... compared to evaluate important factors for the formation of foraging areas of Chinstrap penguins ... (Pygoscelis antarctica) and Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella) at Seal Island.
