The monthly occurrence and relative abundance of seabirds of inshore continental
shelf waters off Sydney during one year's observations are recorded and discussed.
An annotated list of the species with comments on their feeding behaviour and presence
in relation to breeding colonies is given.
The seabird assemblage of inshore waters off Sydney is characterised by four main
components based on seasonal movements. A peak in seabird abundance and biomass
during spring may have reflected an increase in productivity and this was supported by
the food utilisation of the species concerned.
The following additions should be made on page 4:
