Summary

Brooke, M. De L. & Klages, N. 1986. Squid beaks regurgitated by Greyheaded and Yellownosed Albatrosses, Diomedea chrysostoma and D. chlororhynchos, at the Prince Edward Islands. Ostrich 57: 203–206.

Squid regurgitated by Greyheaded and Yellownosed Albatrosses at the Prince Edward Islands were predominantly two onychoteuthid species, Kondakovia longimana and Moroteuthis knipovitchi. Both squid are characteristic of cold, Antarctic waters and may have been caught south of the Antarctic Convergence, some 350 km to the south of the breeding station. Both albatross species regurgitated similar squid (by species and size), and these squid were similar to those found in previous studies of the diet of Wandering, Sooty and Lightmantled Sooty Albatrosses at the Prince Edward Islands.
