Referat wygłoszony na Second Meeting of the European Ornithologists' Union Bibliogr. p. 131 P. [129]-131 : ill. 27 cm Abstract in Polish. Taxa in Latin The distribution of the globally threatened Steller's Eider was described in relation to marine benthic biotopes along Lithuanian coastline in the winters 1997/98 and 1998/99. Steller's Eiders demonstrated their preference towards diversity of benthic biotopes and tended to avoid entirely sandy bottom biotopes. The highest fractions in the winter diet of the Steller's Eider were made up by fish eggs (48.7 %) and molluscs (42.6 %).
