Appendix 9. Results from analysis of fourteen diet samples of Adelie Penguins from the Barcroft Islands taken on May 15, 2002. Samples are divided into digested contents not identifiable to taxa and fresh contents that are. Fresh contents are further divided into fish, amphipod, and krill components. Weight of each sample component and summary data for krill length from each Adelie Penguin sampled are presented in the appendix. Samples in which otoliths were found are also indicated.
