Abstract
Field and activity—specific metabolic rates of 20 free—living Northern Gannets (Sula bassanus; mean mass = 3.21 kg) rearing chicks at Funk Island, Newfoundland, were measured using doubly labeled water and activity timers. Field metabolism (FMR) averaged 4865 kJ/d or 6.6 x basal metabolism (BMR). Regression analyses indicated a metabolic rate of 144 kJ/h while at the nest or on water, 349 kJ/h during flight, and 250 kJ/h during diurnal time at...
