The lower right panel shows the main water masses influencing Bass Strait: Kanowna Island (KI); South Australian Current (SAC); Sub-Antarctic Surface Water (SASW); East Australian Current (EAC). The shaded rectangles describe the areas for which seasonal sea surface temperature was extracted: Bass Strait (BS; study breeding region; Fromant et al. unpublished data); post-breeding area of fairy prion (FP Post-breeding area; Fromant et al. unpublished data); post-breeding area of common diving petrels (CDP post-breeding area; [ 38 ].
