Consumption estimates for male Antarctic fur seals at the South Orkney Islands during the post mating migration
Abstract: The estimates of fur seal consumption of krill in subareas 48.1 to 48.3 which have been ... used in ecosystem modelling and CCAMLR’s risk assessment approach, are based on the distribution of fur ... seal breeding populations. Fur seal breeding colonies south of 60 o have remained relatively small and ... their biomass is orders of magnitude less than those of penguins. As a result the estimates of fur seal ...
