Eakin -- Reports on Fishes from the University of Maine Antarctic Biological Research Program: 1. Genus Pogononophryne (Pisces, Harpagiferidae) from the South Orkney Islands / Richard R. Eakin.Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Antarctic Research Series, Volume 31.The osteology of the Ross seal (Ommatophoca rossi) is described. The bones of this species closely resemble those of Leptonychotes, the only other Monachinae for which a general osteology is available. The hand and foot of Ommatophoca are relatively longer than those of other phocids, and several characteristics of this seal are adaptative modifications for swimming and for swallowing large prey. Possible sexual discriminating characteristics are discussed.Antarctic research series ;31.Marine biologyAntarcticaMarine biologyArctic regionsFishesAntarcticaClassificationMarine biologyMarine biologyFishes574.92/4 s599/.748Piérard Jean1934-1230295Kornicker Louis S.1919-PQKBBOOK9910841131403321Biology of the Antarctic Seas IX2856040UNINA
