“…Moreover, new methods in data abstraction and transmission mean device retrieval is no longer obligatory to obtain the information these instruments record (Cox et al, 2018). For pinniped species, it is now possible to remotely track a suite of dive and foraging metrics such as prey catch attempts (PrCA), swimming effort, dive shape, and surface interval (Cox et al, 2018;Heerah, Cox, Blevin, Guinet, & Charrassin, 2019;Photopoulou, Lovell, Fedak, Thomas, & Matthiopoulos, 2015). As such, the early foraging strategies of free-ranging juveniles that may not return to land can now be observed and, when coupled with double tagging techniques (Drymon & Wells, 2017;Hays, Bradshaw, James, Lovell, & Sims, 2007), examined in relation to survival outcome to gain a more mechanistic understanding of how the two may be related.…”
