- Abstract
The article presents a study on the inferences on the diet of the Eastern Pacific Harbor Seal at the southern end of its distribution. The Eastern Pacific harbor seal has a generalist diet, ingesting a high variety of prey from the nekton and benthos. Different studies have used pups as indicators of their mothers' diets during lactation since the pups' growth is the result of ingesting their mothers' milk.
