Seabirds encountered at sea off the South-Western Coast of Australia - December 1994

A survey of seabirds off the coast between Port Lincoln, South Australia and Fremantle, Western Australia during December 1994 was conducted on the voyage 11/94 of the CSIRO Oceanographic Research Vessel Franklin. Mean abundances were calculated from a series of 10 minute counts by a human observer through the trip, with sea surface temperature, salinity, water depth, current speed and direction, sea conditions and visibility also measured.\n\nThe following birds were recorded: Wandering Albatross; Royal Albatross; Shy\tAlbatross; Black-browed Albatross; Yellow-nosed\tAlbatross; Sooty Albatross; Northern Giant; Blue\tPetrel; Great-winged Petrel; Gould's Petrel; White-headed Petrel; White-chinned\tPetrel; Flesh-footed Shearwater; Short-tailed Shearwater; Wedge-tailed Shearwater; Fluttering Shearwater; Little Shearwater; Wilson's\tStorm-Petrel; White-faced Storm-Petrel; Black-bellied Storm-Petrel; Australasian Gannet; Black-faced Cormorant; Pomarine Jaeger; Silver Gull; Pacific Gull; Crested Tern; Common Tern; Bridled Tern; Sooty Tern

1994年12月，研究团队搭乘澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）海洋科考船"富兰克林号"执行11/94航次，在南澳大利亚州林肯港与西澳大利亚州弗里曼特尔之间的近岸海域开展海鸟调查。本次调查通过人类观察员在整个航行过程中开展的一系列10分钟计数计算海鸟平均丰度，同时同步测量了海表温度、盐度、水深、海流流速与流向、海况以及能见度等环境参数。

本次调查共记录到以下海鸟物种：漂泊信天翁、皇信天翁、害羞信天翁、黑眉信天翁、黄鼻信天翁、乌信天翁、北巨鹱、蓝鹱、大翅鹱、古尔德氏鹱、白头鹱、白颏鹱、肉足鹱、短尾鹱、楔尾鹱、振翅鹱、小鹱、威尔逊风暴海燕、白脸风暴海燕、黑腹风暴海燕、澳大拉西亚塘鹅、黑脸鸬鹚、中贼鸥、银鸥、太平洋鸥、凤头燕鸥、普通燕鸥、乌领燕鸥、乌燕鸥
