Summer foraging behaviour of shallow-diving seabirds and distribution of their prey, Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida), in the Canadian Arctic [PDF]
Polar Research, 2012 Productive areas in the Canadian Arctic seasonally provide top predators with accessible and often predictable sources of energy. Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) aggregate in shallow bays during the summer and are exploited by seabirds and marine mammals ...

Seabirds as a subsistence and cultural resource in two remote Alaskan communities
Ecology and Society, 2014 Small rural Alaskan communities face many challenges surrounding rapid social and ecological change. The role of local subsistence resources may change over time because of changes in social perception, economic need, and cultural patterns of use.

Up for grabs: prey herding by penguins facilitates shallow foraging by volant seabirds [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Visual and olfactory signals are commonly used by seabirds to locate prey in the horizontal domain, but foraging success depends on prey depth and the seabird's ability to access it.

Impacts of fisheries on seabird communities
Scientia Marina, 2003 Long-line by-catch of albatrosses and petrels may soon lead to species extinctions. Set-net bycatch has caused major reductions in certain seabird populations. Some fisheries may decrease numbers of seabirds by reducing abundance of prey-fish.

Identification of an assembly site for migratory and tropical seabirds in the South Atlantic Ocean
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2015 Seabirds are good indicators of wider biodiversity and where they assemble in large numbers signifies sites important to many marine faunal species. Few such large assemblage sites have been identified and none in pelagic waters has been identified in ...

Scientific Reports, 2017 Seabirds are known to concentrate on prey patches or at predators aggregations standing for potential feeding opportunities. They may search for prey using olfaction or by detecting visually feeding con-specifics and sub-surface predators, or even boats.
