- Abstract
The article presents a study which investigates the foraging behaviors of benthic animals such as pinniped. The study used Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation, ArcMap, and algorithms. Results show that crabeater seals or the Lobodon carcinophagus and fur seals or the Callorhinus ursinus have favored seamounts for pelagic foraging in Antarctic.
