Over an eight-year period (1978-1985), a total of 469 individual seabirds of 25 taxa was recorded in association with a total of 519 individual cetaceans representing a minimum of seven taxa in the African Sector of the Southern Ocean. Most of the commonly recorded seabird species recorded at sea in the African Sector of the Southern Ocean have been recorded in association with cetaceans. However, such seabird-cetacean associations in the Southern Ocean are rarely observed. These records add to both the list of seabirds and cetaceans previously recorded as associating together.
