Estimation of abundance of the fulmar, Fulmarus glacialis (Procellariidae), in fishery grounds in the Irminger Sea and role of fishery discards in their feeding [Russian]

摘要

The total number of the fulmars aggregated around fishery vessels in the Irminger Sea beyond the Exclusive Economic Zones is estimated at about of 100000. Discards of the fish processing and fishery waste are sufficient to support the fulmars' energetic requirements. Each vessel provides food for approximately 2000 birds.
