摘要: The food and feeding ecology of the poorly known southern long-finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas edwardii) was investigated using ecological tracers (muscle skin δ 13 C 15 N, total mercury, Hg) on individuals from two mass strandings together with at-sea observations live animals in Kerguelen waters, Indian Ocean. Sightings cetaceans longliners over 9 years (2003-2012) emphasized regular occurrence whales slope waters surrounding archipelago. Tissue values (a proxy consumer foraging habitat) suggest that fed oce- anic subantarctic last months preceding stranding. N Hg concentration (die- tary proxies) indicate a high trophic position (~4.7) for whales, likely corresponding to mixed diet fish squid (not crustaceans) undetermined species. Both
