Abstract. Between November and February in the years 1993/1994 to 1999/2000, 153 southern elephant seals, Mirounga leonina, were stomach lavaged at King George Island. Fish occurred in 16 of 108 stomachs containing food items. Myctophids were the dominant fish prey, contributing 76.6% of the 145 sagittal otoliths found. The most important prey species was Gymnoscopelus nicholsi, which constituted 69% of the otoliths and occurred in 75% of stomach samples. Next in importance was the nototheniid…

The feeding habits of the Southern elephant seal, Mirounga leonina, at Isla 25 de Mayo/King George Island, South Shetland Islands
TLDR
The analysis of stomach samples showed that cephalopods were the main prey followed by fish, and myctophids may be the dominant fish prey of elephant seals in areas close to the South Shetlands, they would be probably replaced by P. antarcticum as seals migrate towards higher latitudes.
Cephalopoda as prey of juvenile Southern elephant seals at Isla 25 de Mayo/King George, South Shetland Islands
TLDR
A differential response of males and females to this temporal variation was observed, which would suggest a sexual segregation in foraging habits of this species from the early stages of its life cycle.
Sighting of a Southern elephant seal Mirounga leonina in the Toltén River, southern Chile
The Southern elephant seal (SES) is a marine species that can be found at sea throughout the Southern Ocean on most sub-Antarctic islands. An unusual record of a solitary Southern elephant seal…
Stable isotopes reveal the trophic position and mesopelagic fish diet of female southern elephant seals breeding on the Kerguelen Islands
TLDR
It is suggested that female seals occupy a unique trophic niche amongst the guild of air-breathing, diving vertebrates by feeding on mesopelagic fish at great depths, which emphasizes the role of myctophids in oceanic waters and will help to quantify and model fluxes of matter and energy within the pelagic ecosystem of the Southern Ocean.
A comparative study of the cephalopod prey of Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) and southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) near Macquarie Island
TLDR
The consumption of significantly different-sized squid can be used to suggest spatial foraging separation of these two predators because there is evidence for ontogenetic change in the size of squid species with depth; older, and thus larger, squids live deeper than smaller individuals of the same species.
Elephant Seals: Mirounga angustirostris and M. leonina
TLDR
The northern elephant seal and the southern elephant seal are the largest pinnipeds, but despite their physical similarities, the two species have very different geographic distributions, with at least 8000 km separating them.
Holocene Adélie penguin diet in Victoria Land, Antarctica
TLDR
Temporal distribution of Pleuragramma antarcticum showed a peak between 2,000 and 4,000 years bp, a period corresponding to the maximum spread of Adélie penguin in the Victoria Land.
Dispersal of female southern elephant seals and their prey consumption during the austral summer: relevance to management and oceanographic zones
TLDR
This study emphasizes that a large sample of individual seals can estimate spatial trends in prey consumption and that elephant seals should be included in models predicting trophic structure in the Southern Ocean.
Adult male southern elephant seals from King George Island utilize the Weddell Sea
Abstract Adult male southern elephant seals instrumented in 2000 on King George Island (n = 13), travelled both to the north (n = 2) and to the east (n = 6) of the Antarctic Peninsula. Five males…
Guarding against oversimplifying the fundamental drivers of southern elephant seal population dynamics
TLDR
It is argued that substantial speculation and uncertainty could have been avoided by the authors had they consulted and examined this considerable available literature that confirms (and in some cases, fails to support) many of their conclusions.

Cephalopod diet of the southern elephant seal, Mirounga leonina, at King George Island, South Shetland Islands
TLDR
The squid Psychroteuthis glacialis was the most important prey of the South Shetland Islands elephant seals in terms of numbers, biomass, biomass and frequency of occurrence, and the squid Alluroteuthis antarcticus was the predominant squid in waters close to the Antarctic continent.
The diet of southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) from Heard Island
TLDR
Stomach contents were lavaged from 76 southern elephant seals at Heard Island between July 1992 and March 1993 and the diet of adults differed from that of juveniles, particularly pups in their first year.
COMPARISON OF THE STOMACH CONTENTS OF SOUTHERN ELEPHANT SEALS, MIROUNGA LEONINA, AT MACQUARIE AND HEARD ISLANDS
TLDR
The difficulty in collecting dietary samples of southern elephant seals near their main foraging areas makes the study of the feeding ecology of this species extremely difficult in comparison with other Southern Ocean species.
Foraging ecology of southern elephant seals in relation to the bathymetry and productivity of the Southern Ocean
TLDR
It is suggested that the physiological requirements of feeding and digestion reduced the aerobic dive limit of elephant seals, and long distance travel to relocatable hydrographic or topographical features, such as shelf breaks, may allow large predators to locate prey more consistently than from mid-ocean searches.
Status of southern elephant seals at South Georgia
Approximately 54% of the world population of southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) breeds at South Georgia. A partial survey in 1951 and a complete survey in 1985, together with counts at…
Movements of southern elephant seals
TLDR
Three seals that were tracked over more than one season repeated their outward direction of travel and used some of the same sites in subsequent years, which makes most of the Southern Ocean potentially available to elephant seals.
Population biology of the myctophid fish Gymnoscopelus nicholsi (Gillbert, 1911) from the western South Atlantic
TLDR
The Gymnoscopelus nicholsi population is divided into a pelagic stock of juveniles and sub-adults which occur in the offshore waters of the western South Atlantic and benthopelagic stocks of adults distributed over the slope regions off Argentina, South Georgia and Antarctic archipelagos.
ASSESSING NORTHERN ELEPHANT SEAL FEEDING HABITS BY STOMACH LAVAGE
TLDR
Stomach lavaging was used to study the feeding habits of northern elephanr seals found on San hliguel Island, California, during the spring of 1984, and 12 of which have not been previously reported as prey of the northern elephant seal were identified.
Southern elephant seal movements and Antarctic sea ice
Weaned pups and post-moult female elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) were fitted with satellite transmitters at King George Island (South Shetland Islands) between December 1996 and February 1997. Of…
Mass changes during their annual cycle in females of southern elephant seals at King George Island
TLDR
Total mass gain was positively related to the mass loss experienced by females from parturition until the end of the moulting period in the first breeding season, and total mass loss was not significantly different from mass gain for the same females between lactation and moult.
