Frequency distributions.

<p>a) Frequency distribution of bottom depth across all seals (n  =  3,269) based on the number of dive locations obtained from the SRDL tags. b) Frequency distribution of maximum dive depth across all seals (n  =  3,269) based on number of dive locations obtained from the SRDL tags.</p

Spearman rank correlation table presenting the relationship between the surface duration (SuD), dive duration (DD), maximum dive depth (MDD) and bottom depth (BD) across all seals (n = 3,269).

<p>All r_s in the table are significant at p < 0.05.</p

Histogram showing the fitted distribution of FPT across all seals (n = 3,269) from our best habitat model.

Map over the study area.

<p>Moulting area is located in southeast Greenland and breeding areas in Davis Strait (DS), off Labrador and Newfoundland (Front) and in the Gulf og St. Lawrence (Gulf). Bathymetry of the study area is presented as backdrop in grey scale. Dashed white line is the 1,000 meter contour.</p

Maximum dive depth model results.

<p>Predicted results for a) FPT (h), b) Month (blue columns represent approximate fasting periods), c) Bottom depth (m) and d) TCI for male (n = 18) and female (n = 33) hooded seals. Solid black line represents males and hashed line represents females. Thin black lines represent standard error.</p

Dive statistics (non aggregated data) of dive behaviours (surface duration (SuD), dive duration (DD), maximum dive depth (MDD)) and habitat variables (bottom depth (BD), TCI) as well as FPT throughout the year (March and July are excluded) across all seals (n = 352, 438).

<p>Mean is given with ±SD in parentheses.</p

Fitted values from the best habitat model (Geographic location, Month, Bottom depth) for a) males (n = 18) and b) females (n = 33). Track is plotted on the 80 km ARS scale. Filled circles represent FPT from < 20 hours − > 60 hours (light to dark). The dashed white line is the 1,000 m contour line and the bathymetry is represented by the grey scale backdrop.
