Native invaders – challenges for science, management, policy, and society (2012, background): “Substantial reliance on salmonids for prey prompted managers to relocate tern colonies to a natural island (although one greatly modified by human activities) near the mouth of the river, with closer access to marine forage fish (Roby et al. 2002).”
Quantifying the effect of predators on endangered species using a bioenergetics approach: Caspian terns and juvenile salmonids in the Columbia River estuary (2003, background): “During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Rice Island tern colony grew rapidly (USFWS, unpublished data), and by 1998, the colony consisted of nearly 8700 pairs (Roby et al. 2002), the largest Caspian tern colony in North America (Cuthbert and Wires 1999) and apparently in the world.”
