Foraging strategies of chinstrap penguins at Signy Island, Antarctica: importance of benthic feeding on Antarctic krill
Abstract: Chinstrap penguins Pygoscelis antarctica are one of the major consumers of Antarctic ... trip patterns and diving behaviour of chinstrap penguins breeding at Signy Island, Antarctica, using ... time-depth recorders. Foraging trips of penguins could be divided into 2 groups, short diurnal (7.8 h ... ) and longer overnight (19.9 h) trips, with diurnal trips (74%) being dominant in number (263 out of 355 ...

The Role of Fish as Predators of Krill (Euphausia superba) and Other Pelagic Resources in the Southern Ocean
number of food studies were conducted. Currently, the best estimates of krill consumption by fish are 23 ... – 29. 106 tonnes of krill and other pelagic prey taken annually by demersal fish and 7 – 44. 106 tonnes ... confidence limits. Major shortcomings of the consumption estimated for mesopelagic fish are the validity of ... hydro-acoustic biomass estimates conducted in the late 1980’s and the lack of quantitative food ...
