Fig. 4. Relationship between mass consumed and area above the curve created by the decline in stomach temperature, adjusted for temperature difference between animals' core body temperature and fish ({Delta}T). The regression lines for both species are not significantly different (northern elephant seals: {surd}area/{Delta}T=0.52xquantity+2.9; California sea lions: {surd}area/{Delta}T=0.41xquantity+3.1). Black circles denote mean values for each individual northern elephant seal (N=10), grey circles represent the mean values for individual California sea lions (N=13).
