摘要

Harp Pagophilus groenlandicus and hooded Cystophora cristata seals are important predators in drift ice areas of the Greenland Sea (the West Ice) during spring and summer. Their summer (June-July) diet was studied in the West Ice in 2008 and 2010, based on analysis of the gastrointestinal contents of 179 and 20 hooded and harp seals, respectively, in addition to 70 harp seal faeces samples. The diet compositions of harp and hooded seals deviated significantly from each other, implying that the degree of food competition was relatively low. Polar cod Boreogadus saida dominated the hooded seal diet and amphipods (mostly Themisto sp.) dominated the harp seal diet. Krill and the squid Gonatus fabricii were eaten by both species. The importance of G. fabricii for hooded seals was lower in this study compared with previous studies, and krill only occurred sparsely. The occurrence of polar cod, Themisto sp. and krill in the diets of the two seal species coincides well with the geographical and vertical distribution of these three prey items and the previously recorded dive depths of the seals. The inclusion of demersal fishes such as sculpins and snailfish in the diet of some hooded seals was more likely a result of increased availability rather than changes in prey preference, as these seals were collected above shallower waters. Both species showed a rather narrow niche breadth.
