The importance of prey aggregations to the distribution of Brunnich's guillemots in Storfjorden, Svalbard

Most guillemots (Uria lomvia) foraged on the west side of the fjord, coincident with a weak subsurface front between warm Atlantic water, which penetrated Storfjorden from the south, and cold Arctic water. Food samples from the guillemots contained primarily crustaceans (Parathemisto spp. and Thysan...
