A population and harvest intensity estimate for Sooty Shearwater, Puflinus griseus, on Taukihepa (Big South Cape), New Zealand

Abstract: We estimated the rota! number of burrow entrances, chicks and rota! population size of the Sooty Shearwater, Pujfinus griseus, colony on Taukihepa (Big South Cape), the largest of the 36 Titi Islands where Titi (Sooty Shearwater chicks) are harvested. Between 1999 and 2005 we surveyed six manu (family birded areas) as well as a colony in the interior forested region on the island, measuring entrance density and burrow occupancy and habitat variables, as well as recording birders' harvest intensity. We found li… Show more

“…Water fern (Histiopteris incisa) forms dense under canopy breaks. The density of tītī burrows in a 4 ha radiotracking study area (see Rutherford et al 2009) was 0.504 burrows per m 2 (Newman et al 2008). This reflects the density of burrows found in tūpare forest elsewhere on the island and translates to some 20,160 burrows on the whole island.…”

“…It is the largest island in the southern Tītī Islands; so named because of dense populations of tītī or sooty shearwaters (Puffinus griseus) breeding over the austral summer and autumn (Newman et al 2008). Soils are derived from peat and are highly modified in the upper horizons by massive mixing and addition of marine-derived nutrients from the burrowing of tītī (Hawke & Newman 2004).…”

“…The ongoing significance of the Grey-faced Petrel, Pterodroma macroptera gouldi (Hutton, 1869), and Sooty Shearwater, Puffinus griseus (J.E Gmelin, 1789), (collectively known as "Titi" or "Muttonbird") harvests for Maori in the North and South Islands of New Zealand is described by the contributions from Kitson & Moller (2008) and Lyver et al (2008). An understanding of indigenous environmentality coupled with accurate population and harvest estimation is crucial to assessing and ensuring the sustainability of continuing harvests (Newman et al 2008b). Maintenance of human cultures and local communities, their traditional lifeways, and Traditional Ecological Knowledge are now recognised as effective components ofconservation efforts in Australasia (Wilson et al 1992, Moller 1996, Skira 1996 Conservation Authority 1997) and internationally (BorriniFeyerabend 1996, Posey 1996, IUCN 1997).…”
