Antarctic fur seal stable isotopes

Created 20/03/2026

Updated 20/03/2026

A stable isotope analysis on blood and whiskers samples from adult female Antarctic fur seals, from 3 colonies in the Southern Ocean: - Marion Island (2008-2018) - Bird Island, South Georgia (2008-2012) - Cape Shirreff, South Shetland Islands (2008-2012)

The purpose of the study is to examine temporal, spatial and individual variation in the trophic ecology of Antarctic fur seal, and their role as sentinels of change in the Southern Ocean ecosystem.
