Abstract

The article discusses a study on the plastic foraging behavior of Puffinus carneipes, also known as Flesh-Footed Shearwaters, on Lord Howe Island, Australia and its implications for fishery interactions. The repeated-weighing technique was used in the study. The study procedure included estimating food consumption, determining their attendance behavior, and determining their meal size and feeding frequency.
