Preferred foraging areas of Heard Island albatrosses during chick raising and implications for the management of incidental mortality in fisheries
Abstract Incidental mortality in fisheries is causing declines in many albatross populations around the world. To assess potential interactions with regional fisheries satellite tags were used to track black‐browed albatrosses ( Thalassarche melanophrys ) and light‐mantled sooty albatrosses ( Phoebe...
