Pelagic Distribution And Abundance Of Seabirds In The Gulf Of Alaska And Eastern Bering Sea

Atlas based on censuses conducted from ships and aircraft over waters of the Gulf of Alaska and eastern Bering Sea.

Originally published in 1986, this book is concerned with the ways in which seabirds function as predators in the marine environment; in particular about how they find and catch food and how much of it they consume. It reviews both the feeding ecology of seabirds (including adaptations for flight and diving) and also most of the leading field studies (in polar, temperate and tropical regions) that have quantitatively examined the interactions of seabird communities with their prey.
