Surprisingly, pelagic seabirds show higher increases than most coastal ones, and increases have been greatest in seabirds feeding on mesopelagic prey.

Over the course of this investigation, the size of anchovy taken by gannets decreased, suggesting a change in anchovy stock structure towards younger fish. Their wingspan sometimes reaches nearly seven feet across, and their bodies are up to three feet long.

During 1996, an abrupt change in environmental conditions resulted in surface cooling of waters east of Cape Agulhas, which served to strengthen the cross-shelf temperature gradient (Roy et al., 2007). Íslenskar súlur eru farfuglar.

From 1979 to 2004, mass data were obtained in the form of reconstituted mass. For comparison with gannet diet, adult small pelagic fish density data from the annual summer acoustic survey (available since 1984; Coetzee et al., 2008) and catch data for the Eastern Cape purse-seine fleet were obtained from the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF).

mackerel was scarce in Icelandic waters in 1973. For sardine, this distributional shift is thought to be related to growth of the eastern stock, and was likely exacerbated by continued heavy fishing on the western stock (Coetzee et al., 2008).

These changes, in turn, determine the availability of food resources for higher trophic levels and, hence, aVect the distribu- tions and abundances of marine birds.

To test for changes in diet composition between seasons and across years, a permutational multivariate analysis of variance (adonis, method = “bray”, permutations = 5000) was performed, using package “vegan” (v. 2.0–8) in R (v. 3.0.1 for Windows). A century-long population trend of northern gannets (Sula bassana) is correlated with warming surface water conditions and increased mackerel (Scomber scombrus) availability. Cold surface water anomalies appear to have influenced pelagic food webs by inhibiting the movements of migrant, warm-water pelagic fishes and cephalopods into inshore regions in the Northwest Atlantic.

Based on swept-area abundance estimates of mackerel from an international survey in 2011 and available estimates of food conversion efficiency in mackerel, the weight gain in Icelandic waters in 2011 corresponded to a total consumption of around 3.4 (2.4−4.5) million tonnes. In the present study, we investigated associations between the prey harvests of northern gannets Sula bassana at a large breeding colony off the northeast coast of Newfoundland and the catches of the inshore Newfoundland fishery at different spatial scales and time intervals.
Similarly, a collapse of the sardine (Sardinops sagax) fishery in central California attributable to fishing and environmental change forced Marbled murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus) to modify their diet to a lower trophic level (Becker and Beissinger, 2006). & Upfold, L. 2007.

It has been suggested that inshore sandeel fisheries could have adverse consequences for local seabird populations.

Using one of the longest and most complete time-series available on diet of a seabird (spanning 34 years), we tested for changes in composition and the abundance of dominant prey species of this population. During the 1980s, sardine caught during the breeding season were significantly shorter than those caught during the non-breeding season, whereas anchovy caught during both seasons were of the same mean size. For both sardine and anchovy, these differences were most noticeable during the second decade (1990s) when their dietary contribution was significantly higher during the breeding season (%NA, FO, and %Mass; Table 2).

The results concur with studies on summer diets of these species where it was found that sandeel dominated auk diets off southern Iceland and capelin off the north coast. By contrast at Great Saltee, bearings of successive trips by individuals were much less similar, with highly variable distances to destinations, no differences in bearings among individuals and no significant repeatability in distance travelled.

Consequently, fishery discards as an alternative food source are unlikely to be as reliable and readily available as they are on the west coast, and their abundance in the diet may not necessarily reflect the abundance of natural prey.
Lastly, we compare changes in the abundance of sardine and anchovy in the diet of gannets with acoustic survey density estimates and total annual catches of these species.
