Abstract:
Otoliths from 76 fish species are illustrated and described as an aid to the identification of stomach contents of Antarctic birds and mammals. Material was obtained from waters off Australian Antarctic Territory and from around Macquarie and Heard Islands. Information is also given on distribution, habits and known predators of the fish species.
These data were published as an ANARE Research Note (75 - A guide to the fish otoliths from waters off the Australian Antarctic Territory, Heard and Macquarie Islands). See the reference for more details.
