Wake Forest University Satellite Tracking - Tern Island Albatrosses 1998
Entry ID:
seamap313
Summary
Abstract:
Satellite telemetry was used to identify the foraging distributions
of two congeneric species of albatrosses that nest in the tropics / subtropics. Breeding Black-footed albatross (Phoebastria nigripes) and Laysan albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis) nesting in Tern Island (Northwest Hawaiian Islands) and tracked during the 1998 breeding season (January - June) performed foraging trips to ...  Purpose: The analysis of albatross movement patterns showed that the core feeding areas during long trips were located over the continental shelves of North America, from California to the Aleutians. An understanding on the foraging biology of North Pacific albatrosses has important implications for assessing their bycatch risk in commercial fisheries. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: These albatross were ...
