Feeding ecology of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) in the outer Oslofjord quantified by DNA metabarcoding of scat soft-matrix and morphological analysis of hard prey remains
Salinger, Audrey (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-08-15)The feeding ecology of harbor seals in the outer Oslofjord was investigated during late summer and autumn of 2019 using DNA metabarcoding and morphological hard-parts identification. To evaluate potential competition between seals and fisheries, the annual consumption of fish by harbor seals was estimated and compared to the fisheries landings in the outer Oslofjord. Fish species from 16 and 18 ...
