Understanding the environmental factors influencing the foraging behaviour of marine top predators is crucial for assessing their ecological roles and resilience to environmental changes. This study examines the foraging strategies of female Australian fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus; AUFS) at Kanowna Island during the austral autumn and winter (2008–2017). Using animal-borne video cameras, GPS tracking, and dive behaviour loggers, we analysed prey encounters and captures across 22 adult females. The results of the generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) revealed that prey encounters and captures were significantly influenced by time of day, with nocturnal dives accounting for the highest success rates, particularly for benthic-demersal fish and elasmobranchs. Depth played a critical role, as greater depths were associated with increased benthic fish encounters and captures. Additionally, the abundance of invertebrates on the seafloor was a key predictor of capture success, with medium-density habitats being the most productive. These findings highlight the importance of fine-scale habitat characteristics, including depth and benthic invertebrate abundance, in shaping AUFS foraging success. The integration of advanced biologging tools with habitat data provides valuable insights into predator-prey dynamics and underscores the need for further research to understand the implications of environmental changes on marine ecosystems.
