We have data on seabird mortality, injuries and oiling as a result of falling into small pelagic purse-seine fishing nets. We need to evaluate impact of oiling and injuries to the populations, as well as rates of mortality as a result of these injuries and oiling. We have not found any information concerning mortality rates of oiled and injured birds and no information on effects of fish oil on survival capacity birds that have been oiled during this type of fishing operations. Is this oiling different from that of birds being exposed to fish processing plants, which has been studied, and what are the differences?
