“…Such sources of variability need to be incorporated in models attempting to predict the spatial distribution of seabirds. Scavenging seabirds, including black-browed albatrosses Thalassarche melanophris, often gather in huge flocks behind fishing vessels, taking advantage of escaped fish, discards and offal (Sullivan et al, 2006;Pierre et al, 2010). Hence, it is plausible that fishing fleets will also influence the distribution of tracked seabirds (Bartumeus et al, 2010), although some studies suggest that the attraction effect may be only of local nature (Skov and Durinck, 2001).…”

“…Black-browed albatrosses represent a large part of the avian biomass of this ecosystem. They are known to gather behind fishing vessels in large numbers, suffering heavy incidental mortality (Sullivan et al, 2006;ACAP, 2009), and are categorized as Endangered by the World Conservation Union (IUCN, 2008). Our study aimed to develop robust models for predicting the distribution of albatrosses, taking into account factors such as accessibility (or travel costs), intra-specific competition, oceanography, fisheries and the corresponding inter-annual variation.…”

“…When the conservation status of burrow-nesting petrel species are threatened by other anthropogenic causes such as by some of the world's fisheries (Weimerskirch et aL 1999, de L. Brooke & Croxall 1999, Brothers et aL 1999, Sullivan et aL 2006, the added impact of rats may become more significant. The smaller petrel species which face rat predation of eggs, chicks and also adults (Warham 1990) are fortunately not doubly disadvantaged by becoming fisheries bycatch as are some of the larger petrels.…”

“…Attention originally focused on seabird interactions with longline fisheries (Brothers 1991, Weimerskirch et al 1997, Nel et al 2002, Tuck et al 2003; however, trawl fisheries are also known to cause substantial seabird mortalities (Sullivan et al 2006b, Moore & Zydelis 2008, Watkins et al 2008, Favero et al 2011, González-Zevallos et al 2011. Seabirds have wide-ranging foraging distributions, are longlived, with low fecundity and a late age-at-maturity (Warham 1990), which are all characteristics that make their populations vulnerable to any additional mortality.…”
