Survival and mass data of King penguin Aptenodytes patagonicus chicks throughout the winter

From 2002 to 2022, yearly King Penguin Aptenodytes patagonicus chick mortality and mass data was collected in April, just before the winter fast. The same chicks were relocated after the winter to assess mortality. The data was collected on Kerguelen Island, located in the Southern Ocean.Â

2002年至2022年，研究人员于每年冬季禁食期前的四月，在位于南大洋的凯尔盖朗岛（Kerguelen Island）采集了王企鹅（King Penguin，学名*Aptenodytes patagonicus*）幼鸟的年度死亡率与体重数据。随后于冬季结束后对同一批幼鸟进行重定位追踪，以评估其死亡率。
