Resumen:
We conducted a whole-colony census of the Adélie penguin colony at
Esperanza/ Hope Bay. We also update breeding population data for selected
breeding groups recorded consistently from 1995/96 to 2012/13. Both the whole
colony and the selected breeding groups exhibit population declines, similar to
what has been observed in other colonies throughout the WAP. The assessment of
this population will contribute to the estimate of total predator biomass in
Area 48.
