Population dynamics of the wandering albatross on Macquarie Island and the effects of mortality from longline fishing
Entry ID:
Alb_longline_MI
Summary
Abstract:
From the abstract of one of the referenced papers:
The estimated breeding population of wandering albatrosses on Macquarie Island increased from 17 in 1956 to a maximum of 97 in 1966, and then declined at an average rate of 8.1% per year.
