The least likely reason that a seal needs ice cover is "to consume prey." While seals do hunt in areas with ice, their primary needs for ice cover are related to resting, breeding, and protecting themselves from predators and the sun. Ice provides them with a platform to haul out of the water, which is essential for the other activities mentioned.
