This report attempts to assess fisheries risks to the population viability of Gibson’s wandering albatross (Diomedea gibsoni). Three data sets were analysed: mark-recapture, nest-based, and counts of breeders.
Three conclusions are possible: most fisheries mortality is caused by surface longlines; mortality from fishing is now probably lower than it was; and there is no indication that the drops in demographic rates were caused primarily by fishing.
