Abstract
The stomach contents of adult Adelie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) were sampled at Magnetic Island, 4.5 km offshore from Davis Station, Antarctica. An intensive sampling program was conducted during the posthatching (mid-December to late February) part of the 1982–1983 breeding season, and during the prehatching (mid-October to mid-December) part of the 1983–1984 breeding season. Combining the samples from both seasons, weekly sampling covered almost the entire 4.5 months the penguins spent ashore at the breeding colonies and resulted in a total of 574 samples.
