Oxygen minimum zone: An important oceanographic habitat for deep‐diving northern elephant seals, Mirounga angustirostris

Little is known about the foraging behavior of top predators in the deep mesopelagic ocean. Elephant seals dive to the deep biota‐poor oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) (>800 m depth) despite high diving costs in terms of energy and time, but how they successfully forage in the OMZ remains largely unknow...
