    Resumen

    Published accounts of population surveys and population estimates for flying seabirds across Area 48 are reviewed. Spatial coverage of count data and population estimates varies greatly between species across their breeding ranges in Area 48. Most population estimates reviewed date from the 1970s and 1980s. Survey methodologies are often poorly described. Potential biases and uncertainties around existing estimates are rarely discussed.
