Studies of marbled murrelets in marine habitats, during 1990 / Gary W. Kaiser, Todd E. Mahon, Michael D. Fawcett.: CW69-5/131E-PDF
"A shipboard survey for Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus) along the central coast of British Columbia revealed considerable variation in density of birds on the water. Areas near Cape Caution and Aristazabal Island had very sparse populations while Mussel and Kynoch inlets had very high numbers. The sheltered inlets were particularly important eventhough there do not appear to be any stands of typical old-growth forest. Overall, densities correlated negatively with sea surface salinity and positively with the density of Mew Gulls (Larus canus)"--Abstract.
