Johnson, S R

Seabird population counts on the Pribilof Islands during summer 1984 were lower than counts made in 1976 or 1982, and usually much lower than in 1976. Estimates of black-legged kittiwake productivity were very low in 1984 on St. George and St. Paul islands and at Cape Pierce. The study also proposes a strategy for monitoring regional trends in seabird populations, productivity, and feeding habits, and detecting effects from oil and gas industry activities.
