Regional patterns of kittiwake Rissa tridactyla breeding success are related to variability in sandeel recruitment (2005, positive): “Many British kittiwake populations have declined sharply since about 1990 (Heubeck 2004); in 1 area the decline was related to the industrial sandeel fishery and increasingly warm winters, both effects probably mediated through sandeel availability (Frederiksen et al. 2004).”
Forage fish, their fisheries, and their predators: who drives whom? (2014, background): “In general, seabirds tend to show the greatest sensitivity, with large proportions of forage fish in the diet and restricted foraging ranges during breeding when birds are often highly concentrated (see also Furness, 2002, 2007; Frederiksen et al., 2004; Wanless et al., 2005; Cury et al., 2011).”
Cetacean abundance and distribution in European Atlantic shelf waters to inform conservation and management (2013, background): “Further details of field protocol are found in Gilles et al. (2009).”
Trends in numbers of Cape gannets (Morus capensis), 1956/1957-2005/2006, with a consideration of the influence of food and other factors (2007, background): “Environmental change, as well as fishing, may influence the availability of prey to central-place foragers (e.g. Frederiksen et al., 2004; Crawford et al., 2006b).”
Potential impacts of wave-powered marine renewable energy installations on marine birds (2010, background): “To date, work has focused on how changes in extrinsic factors such as fisheries (Frederiksen et al. 2004, Votier et al. 2004, 2010, Phillips et al. 2006), climate (Votier et al. 2005, Frederiksen et al. 2007a, Rolland et al. 2008, Grémillet & Boulinier 2009) and pollution (Votier et al. 2005, 2008,…”
Regional and annual variation in black-legged kittiwake breeding productivity is related to sea surface temperature (2007, background): “Throughout, we assumed that kittiwakes mainly depend on 1-yr-old sandeels for successful breeding (Frederiksen et al. 2004, Wanless et al. 2007) and that a strong year class of 0-group sandeels will lead to high availability to kittiwakes in the following year.”
Seabirds as indicators of the marine environment (2008, background): “This decline may be mediated through effects of sea surface temperature as has been suggested for the breeding success and survival of black-legged kittiwakes (Frederiksen et al., 2004).”
Seabirds as environmental indicators: the advantages of combining data sets (2007, methodology): “4) thus implies that, relative to the alcids, these 2 species have done better in recent years, even though kittiwake breeding productivity has declined over the study period when viewed in isolation (cf. Frederiksen et al. 2004).”
Combined effects of fisheries and climate on a migratory long-lived marine predator (2007, background): “Effects may be negative, directly through incidental mortality (Tuck, Polacheck & Bulman 2003) or indirectly through reduction in food abundance (Frederiksen et al. 2004), or positive due to a secondary food source provided by offal and discards (Bunce et al. 2002).”
Microhabitat use and prey capture of a bottom-feeding top predator, the European shag, shown by camera loggers (2008, background): “This diet change might be in response to decreases in sandeel availability driven by climate change and fisheries (Frederiksen et al. 2004, Wanless et al. 2005).”
THE STATUS OF BREEDING SEABIRDS IN MAINLAND NORWAY (2006, background): “The decline in Britain has been attributed to changes in oceanographic conditions resulting in changes in the distribution and stocks of key prey fish species, and decreases in breeding success, body condition and survival of adult birds (Frederiksen et al. 2004).”
Forage Fish: From Ecosystems to Markets (2008, result): “In contrast, our findings support a previously proposed hypothesis that the most common type of harmful competitive interaction will be one in which fisheries adversely impact species with restricted distributional ranges (24, 25) (indicating that local depletions of food resources through intensive”
Diet studies of seabirds: a review and recommendations (2007, background): “For example, seabird data give early indications of fluctuations in fish stocks and oceanographic conditions (Montevecchi, 1993; Frederiksen et al., 2004), and monitoring programmes for seabirds have been implemented in many parts of the world to investigate these relationships.”
