Levantamento das aves marinhas no percurso Rio de Janeiro: Bahia (Brasil) A survey of the marine birds in the route Rio de Janeiro: Bahía (Brazil)

Abstract

Marine birds were surveyed between Rio de Janeiro and Bahia, latitudes 24º44'S and 17º50'S, from July to September 1984. Sixteen species were recorded belonging to six families, with most sightings occurring between 24º44'S and 22º3$'S. Data suggest two distinct communities, the more southerly one is represented by Daption capense and the one further north by Puffinus gravis.
