Identifying foraging areas of individuals and correlating them with potential food resources allows for a better understanding of predator-prey relationships. Herein, we examine whether grey seal movements were associated with overwintering concentrations of several com- mercial fish species in the Cabot Strait, Atlantic Canada, using data from satellite transmitters deployed on grey seals (between 1993 and 2005) and winter bottom-trawl survey data (1994 to 1997). The distribution of searching effort by male grey seals varied throughout the winter. In early winter, males concentrated their movements around St. Paul's Island. In late winter, they were found to the southeast of this area, where females also occurred. The fish community dif- fered between apparent foraging and non-foraging areas. Densities of small plaice, hake and red- fish, large herring and cod of all sizes were relatively high in the male grey seal foraging zones; female foraging zones were characterized by higher densities of small plaice and redfish and large cod. Areas where grey seal foraging was not concentrated were characterized by high densities of medium and large redfish as well as large turbot and witch flounder. Diet samples are needed to determine whether grey seals are feeding on the fish groups that distinguish foraging from non- foraging areas or alternatively on other prey that occur in the same areas.
