Table 2 Estimated active metabolic rate (AMRE; mgO2 kg−1 h−1) and energy expenditure (MJ) during the dive where the predation occurred, and overall for the 24 h period for the 25th, median and 75th percentile of the 10,000 iterations of randomly sampled parameter estimates used to calculate AMRE. Values are presented as mean ± SD where applicable.
