註釋

The thick-billed murre is one of the most numerous seabirds breeding in the northern hemisphere, over the north Atlantic coasts of the eastern seaboard. They have always been harvested in both their breeding grounds in Greenland and the eastern Canadian Arctic and in their wintering grounds in Newfoundland and Labrador. Since the 1960s, they have suffered very heavy mortality through hunting, drowning in nets, and oiling and there is now concern over declining populations. This collection of papers are derived from a symposium held in April 1989 and cover the current dynamics of populations in West Greenland, the threat represented by salmon drift nets off West Greenland, the hunt in Newfoundland, and population changes in British Common murres and Atlantic Puffins from 1968-88.
