Resumen
Seabirds are susceptible to a variety of anthropogenic impacts, including plastic ingestion, oil spills, competition with fisheries, and bycatch. Understanding their distribution at sea can help managers to assess the susceptibility of different species and populations to specific threats. We characterized the at-sea distribution of the Balearic Shearwater, Puffinus mauretanicus, a critically endangered species endemic to the Balearic Islands, along the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula during three years coinciding with the chick-rearing period (May-June). The species mostly inhabited the productive continental shelf and associated with fronts where high prey concentrations could occur around the Ebro Delta area.
