    Abstract

    At least six instances of long-line fishing gear (especially hooks) in association with breeding black-browed and wandering albatrosses were recorded at Bird Island, South Georgia in 1992J93. Although similar observations had been made in previous seasons, this is the highest incidence yet recorded in a single season.
