- Abstract
The article presents a case study to understand the nocturnal and diurnal activity of gray seals during the breeding season. Commercially available equipments are used in this study to investigate the circadian activity budget of gray seals while on the breeding colony. It has been observed that gray seals are polygynous, colonial, and annual breeders with a discrete, predictable reproductive season.
