Proportions of diet estimated for crabeater seals, by MixSIAR using fatty acid or stable isotope data

Sources Diet estimation for crabeater seals
Fatty acids Stable isotopes
E. superba 0.840 (0.799–0.867) 0.911 (0.836–0.972)
E. carlsbergi 0.012 (0.001–0.042) 0.041 (0.002–0.125)
E. antarctica 0.109 (0.042–0.150)
P. antarcticum 0.032 (0.002–0.145)
Pa_Ea 0.037 (0.002–0.110)

The group “Pa_Ea” corresponds to the combined isotope values of the fish P. antarcticum and E. antarctica
