Description

Scientific name: Halichoerus grypus (Gray Seal)

Habitat: Bathydemersal
Main role: Predator
Trophic level: 5

IUCN Red List Assessment:

Diet: Gray seals feed mostly on sandeels, but the diet of harbour seal is more variable with relatively high proportions of gadoids, flatfish and coastal demersal fish such as gobies, bullrout, and dragonets.

Threats: Seals are sensitive to pollution, coastal disturbances, and entanglement in marine debris.

Return to birds and mammals.
