Abstract

We present a new record of Salvin’s Albatross Thalassarche salvini in waters of the Patagonian continental shelf. During a seabird census on 06 December 2019, a sub-adult individual within a mixed-species flock was observed eating fishery discards. In addition, we review sightings of this species outside its known core range using published records and other information. The species’ presence in Argentine waters has possibly been underestimated and further work to elaborate its interaction with fishery fleets is required.
