dc.description.abstract |
More than three million individual adult seabirds belonging to six species, undergo their full annual moult on Marion Island. The estimated contribution to the island's ecosystem by their shed feathers is 428,7 t (dry weight). An area of 4 km2 receives 76 per cent of the feather mass. |
