Length at first maturity / Size / Peso / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 41.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 8812); Peso massimo pubblicato: 619.00 g (Ref. 356)

Short description Morfologia

Culmen: 4.83 cm; tarsus: 3.07 cm; wing: 18.97 cm.

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Total Length: 36 to 41 cm; Wingspan: 56 to 58 cm (Ref. 8812). With sperm-storage glands allowing delayed fertilization of ovum (Ref. 87784). Plunge diver; continental shelf; <100 km (Ref. 356). As in all seabirds, copulation takes place ashore and the presence sperm-storage glands allow delayed fertilization of ovum out at sea. Vulnerable to oil spill as a piscivore; saw 50% decline in population from 1989 in Prince William Sound after the Exxon Valdez oil spill (Ref. 87784). Nests on rock crevices and cliffs (Ref. 62200).
