High mortality rates in a juvenile free‐ranging marine predator and links to dive and forage ability

Abstract High juvenile mortality rates are typical of many long‐lived marine vertebrate predators. Insufficient development in dive and forage ability is considered a key driver of this. However, direct links to survival outcome are sparse, particularly in free‐ranging marine animals that may not re...
