Description

Physical Description

Habitat

Vegetation: freshwater marshes, pelagic waters • Foraging Strata: Water • Center of Abundance: Lower tropical: lowlands, lower than 500 m.; tropics. • Sensitivity to Disturbance: High

Typically found in the intertidal zone at the water's edge at a mean distance from sea level of 29 meters (94 feet).[1]

Ecology: This species is marine and pelagic, often occuring in areas of convergence or upwelling or over continental shelves, rarely coming near land except at colonies. Its diet comprises mainly of small fish, squid, planktonic crustaceans and offal which is catches on the wing by dipping, skimming or snatching from the surface.It sometimes follows marine mammals feeding on left overs or faeces . Its breeding season is variable depending on locality , forming colonies on offshore islands on high ground or slopes , usually among rocks but also in soft soil between trees1
