Descripción
We quantified the use by Kelp Gulls (Larus dominicanus) of urban and fishery waste sites at Puerto Madryn, Argentina, during 1996 and 1997. Kelp Gulls were present at all monthly counts made at both waste sites throughout the two years of the study. Total numbers of gulls in each month were high and variable, with a mean of 4724 and 4612 individuals in 1996 and 1997, respectively. The mean number of gulls at the fishery waste site was significantly larger than at the urban waste site (3767 vs 901). Adult Kelp Gulls were significantly more abundant than non-adult gulls at every count at both the urban and fishery waste sites (mean = 811 vs 91 and 3147 vs 628, respectively). Among the younger age classes, individuals in their third year were the least abundant. The proportion of adults with respect to total gulls present was high during all visits to both sites, although it showed a slight decrease in the fishery waste site during the breeding season. During the breeding season, the number of gulls varied significantly throughout the day at both sites while, during the non-breeding season, numbers varied significantly only in the urban waste site. The Puerto Madryn fishery waste site constitutes a more attractive food source than the urban waste site probably due to the higher quality and quantity of discarded food. The use of waste sites at Puerto Madryn may be enhancing gull breeding success and individual survival during the winter, particularly of young birds. Potential conflicts due to Kelp Gull use of waste sites and the effects on their populations could be minimized by adequate urban and fish waste management
Cuantificamos el uso por la Gaviota cocinera (Larus dominicanus) de los basurales urbanos y pesqueros en Puerto Madryn, Argentina, durante 1996 y 1997. La Gaviota cocinera estuvo presente en todos los censos mensuales efectuados en ambos basurales durante los dos años. Los números totales de gaviotas en cada mes fueron altos y variables, con una media de 4724 y 4612 individuos en 1996 y 1997, respectivamente. El número medio de gaviotas en el basural pesquero fue significativamente mayor que en el basural urbano (3767 vs 901). En todos los conteos en los basurales pesquero y urbano, las gaviotas adultas fueron significativamente más abundantes que las no adultas (media = 811 vs 91 y 3147 vs 628, respectivamente). Entre las clases de edad más jóvenes, los individuos del tercer año fueron los menos abundantes. La proporción de adultos respecto al total de gaviotas presentes fue alta en todas las visitas a ambos basurales, aunque mostró una leve disminución en el basural pesquero durante la temporada reproductiva. Durante la temporada reproductiva, el número de gaviotas varió significativamente a lo largo del día en ambos basurales, mientras que en la temporada no reproductiva los números variaron significativamente solo en el basural urbano. El basural pesquero de Puerto Madryn constituye una fuente de alimento más atractiva que el basural urbano, probablemente debido a la mayor cantidad y calidad de los residuos depositados. El uso de los basurales en Puerto Madryn podría estar favoreciendo el éxito reproductivo de las gaviotas y la supervivencia individual durante el invierno, particularmente de aves jóvenes. Los conflictos potenciales resultantes del uso por la Gaviota cocinera de los basurales y los efectos sobre sus poblaciones podrían ser minimizados con un adecuado manejo de los residuos urbanos y pesqueros
