Fig. 3. Residuals for recovery oxygen consumption of a foraging Weddell seal. Data
are presented in relation to time following first fish ingestion in a feeding
bout. The final five dives of a sequence consisting of 11 foraging dives are
shown. Each point represents the residual for the recovery period following a
dive. Fish indicate times when we observed the seal eating Pleuragramma
antarcticum. 44 fish were ingested at the beginning of this bout, with
one additional fish caught on the tenth dive of the sequence. Residuals were
determined by comparing the observed post-dive recovery oxygen consumption to
predicted values based on Fig.
2B and Equation 3.
