Capelin (Mallotus villosus) as an important food source for northern fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis) breeding at Bjørnøya (Bear Island), Barents Sea
International audience The food and feeding ecology of northern fulmars Fulmarus glacialis was investigated in July 1999 at Bjørnøya (Bear Island). Fulmars relied almost exclusively on fish during the brooding period. The main fish prey was capelin Mallotus villosus (87.0% by reconstituted mass), At...
