Preliminary results on the diet of the snow petrel Pagodroma nivea at Laurie Island, Antarctica, during the 1997/98 breeding season G. Soave, V. Ferretti, N. Coria and R. Casaux (Argentina)
Abstract:
The diet of the Snow Petrel Pagodroma nivea was investigated at Laurie Island, South Orkney Islands, (60¡46'S, 44¡42'W), Antarctica, over the period January-February of 1998. Stomach contents and regurgitates of adults were sampled during the chick-rearing period. Fish, followed by the Antarctic Krill Euphausia superba, were the main prey throughout the sampling period. Other crustaceans and Read More

Detailed subsequent analysis of the results of this survey have indicated that Division 58.4.1 is not meridionally homogeneous in its oceanographic or biological characteristics.
