We studied the dietary preferences of Antarctic fur seals Arctocephalus gazella from Cap
Noir, Îles Kerguelen, foraging in the Antarctic Polar Frontal Zone (PFZ) in February of 1998,
1999 and 2000. Scats were collected and analyzed for remaining prey hard parts in each of
the 3 years, and in 1999 and 2000, the fatty acid (FA) composition of fur seal milk samples
was also examined for longer-term dietary preferences. Scat analyses revealed that seals
foraged primarily on fish and some squid in all 3 years with 25 species of fish being taken …
