Annual Decline

The island of Stora Karlsö hosts the largest colonies of fish-eating seabirds in the Baltic Sea. However, recent and reliable estimates of the number of breeding pairs of the main species have been missing. Based on a complete census in 2014, we estimated the number of Common Guillemots Uria aalge to 15,700 pairs, more than half (up to 70%) of the Baltic Sea population. The number has almost tripled since the early 1970s and the increase has been particularly strong the last 11 years, with an annual increase of 5.1%. We counted 24,600 individual adult Razorbills Alca torda and estimated it to correspond to a maximum of 12,300 pairs in 2015–2016 (census over two seasons). The colony has grown strongly; on average by 5.6% annually since the early 1970s, and Stora Karlsö now hosts up to 30% of the Baltic Sea population. Stora Karlsö also hosts colonies with about 300 pairs each of Lesser Black-backed Gull Larus fuscus and Herring Gull Larus argentatus. The gulls’ trends are negative, with an average annual decline the last 10-year period by 5.0% and 6.2%, respectively.

THE EFFECT OF SALT LOADING ON THE PITUITARY PROLACTIN LEVELS OF THE DOMESTIC DUCK (ANAS PLATYRHYNCHOS) AND JUVENILE HERRING OR LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS (LARUS ARGENTATUS OR LARUS FUSCUS)

Pituitary Prolactin

SUMMARY The pituitary prolactin levels were measured in the domestic duck (Anas platyrhynchos) and in juvenile gulls from a mixed population of herring and lesser black-backed gulls. In the domestic duck the pituitary prolactin levels increased on the 2nd and 3rd days of maintenance on 0·3 m-NaCl, but by the 5th day they had fallen appreciably below the control levels. Maintenance of gulls with 0·3 m-NaCl produced no change in pituitary prolactin levels after 5 days, but a marked fall in prolaction levels when the birds were maintained on 0·7 m-NaCl for 5 days. This difference in response between the two species may be related to their degree of adaptation to a marine environment.
