Pelagic plant life draws its principal supply of dissolved or undissolved nitrogen either from the coasts or from localities where warm and cold currents meet." J. Hjort "Where cold and warm currents meet at the surface of the ocean there is a rise of temperature for the animals of the cold current and a fall of temperature for the animals of the warm current, which results in a plentiful destruction of organisms." Sir John Murray "We are well acquainted with the stream in our pursuit of whales, which keep to the sides of it but are not met within it."
Knowledge about the areas used by the foraging wandering albatross, Diomedea exulans, its prey and overlap with longline fisheries is important information not only for the conservation of this species but also for furthering our understanding of the ecology of its prey.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
