	Lobodon carcinophaga, Crabeater Seal at MarineBio.org
		Contrary to their common name, Crabeater seals, Lobodon carcinophaga (Hombron and Jacquinot, 1842), (often mispelled Lobodon carcinophagus), do not live up to their name, they do not feed primarily on crab.
		The Crabeater seal, Lobodon carcinophaga, inhabits the Southern Ocean and surrounding islands as well as South America, Australia, South Africa, Tasmania, and New Zealand in winter.
		The Crabeater seal, Lobodon carcinophaga, is one of the most abundant pinniped species.

		Consideration of the optimal time to undertake visual surveys with respect to availability is important to ensure that bias and uncertainty in the abundance estimate are minimised for a fixed survey effort.
		In order to assess the optimal time for conducting visual surveys of crabeater seals (Lobodon carcinophaga), satellite-linked dive recorders were attached to 24 adult seals in the pack-ice off east Antarctica to record haulout behaviour over a 4-month period from mid-September to mid-January.
		The optimal time for visual surveys within these four months was December to mid-January (after the pupping season) when a high, relatively constant proportion of seals were hauled out over a period of 6–7 h during daylight, and when variation in haulout behaviour between seals was low.

	Underwater Field Guide to Ross Island & McMurdo Sound, Antarctica
		The crabeater seal Lobodon carcinophaga is found throughout Antarctica, usually in the pack ice
		Wandering crabeater seals have been sighted in the Falkland Islands, South Georgia Island, Bouvet Island, Heard Island, New Zealand, Tasmania and southern Australia, South Africa, Uruguay, Brazil, and Argentina
		The correct gender ending is carcinophaga since it is a noun in apposition and not an adjective, thus retaining its original feminine ending even though it is used with a masculine genus

	Pinnipeds - facts and figures (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		In this part of Antarctica, pinnipedia are represented by four species of phocid (true seals) and one species of otarid (eared seal).
		Of the phocids, crabeater seals (Lobodon carcinophaga) are the most numerous: their population numbers are likely an effect of taking over ecological space vacated by the hunted whales.
		Southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) are deep divers, and highly polygenous.

		The cross-disciplinary merging of classical oceanography and marine mammal ecology will significantly advance our understanding of the world’s oceans and top predators that live in them.
		MEOP partners will deploy CTD-tags on beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas), hooded seals (Cystophora cristata), Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii), crabeater seals (Lobodon carcinophaga) and southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina).
		Most of these species are very deep divers, with maximum dive depths that exceed 1000 m.
