Weddell Seal underwater calling rates during the winter and spring near Mawson Station, Antarctica
Entry ID:
ASAC_1132-1
Summary
Abstract:
During the winter and spring of 2002, underwater calling rates were measured near mid-day on an opportunistic basis at 7 breeding sites and, at two breeding sites, over 24 hour periods once a month. The data were analysed with respect to reproductive season (early ice formation, prebreeding, pupping and mating) and if the recordings were made when it was dark or twilight/light.
