Marine debris ingestion by albatrosses in the southwest Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2015 Plastics and other marine debris affect wildlife through entanglement and by ingestion. We assessed the ingestion of marine debris by seven albatross species in the southwest Atlantic by analyzing stomach contents of birds killed in fisheries. Of the 128 specimens examined, including four Diomedea species (n=78) and three Thalassarche species (n=50 ...
