| Abstract | Seabirds are important “top predators” in the Southern Ocean, and the diets of many have been studied, often as part of the work of the Scientific Committee for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program 1992). Most dietary studies have concentrated on surface-nesting seabirds, especially penguins and albatrosses, and less is known about the diets of the suite of burrowing petrels of the families Procellariidae, Hydrobatidae and Pelecanoididae (e.g. Marchant & Higgins 1990, Williams 1995, Cherel & Klages 1998, Brooke 2004), most probably because of increased difficulty of study. A notable exception is for the Crozet Islands, where the diets of breeding burrowing petrels were comprehensively studied in the early 1980s (Ridoux 1994). |
