Concholepas concholepas (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Muricidae) se distribuye entre las costas del sur de Peru y extremo sur de Chile. Practicamente todos los estudios sobre este gastropodo han sido realizados en costas expuestas, sin considerar los fiordos y canales del sur de Chile, a pesar de que estos representan aproximadamente el 95 % de la linea costera de este pais. Aunque se ha publicado un importante volumen de literatura sobre C. concholepas, existen escasos antecedentes acerca de su desarrollo larval temprano en condiciones naturales, principalmente debido a que estos estadios han sido escasamente recolectados en la naturaleza. Este estudio es el primer intento por determinar los patrones de abundancia espacial y temporal de larvas de C. concholepas a traves de su desarrollo hasta el asentamiento, en su ambiente natural. Para ello, fueron recolectadas muestras de plancton semanalmente en superficie y 8 m de profundidad en cuatro canales del sur de Chile. Temperatura y salinidad fueron registradas simultaneamente en cada sector. El asentamiento fue cuantificado usando un sustrato artificial en los cuatro sectores. En este estudio se observo que el desarrollo larval de C. concholepas ocurre durante todo el ano en las aguas interiores del sur de Chile, observandose estados tempranos principalmente entre agosto y marzo, estados competentes entre junio y agosto, y asentamiento entre julio y agosto. Asi, C. concholepas parece tener un largo periodo de desarrollo larval cuya duracion fue estimada entre 6 a 12 meses en este estudio. Finalmente se sugiere que la hidrologia local puede afectar el desarrollo larval de C. concholepas en esta region. Nuevas investigaciones oceanograficas y ecologicas son necesarias para responder las interrogantes e hipotesis surgidas de este estudio

The Evangelistas Islets, Chile: a new breeding site for black-browed albatrosses

A previously undescribed population of black-browed albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophrys) is reported at the Evangelistas Islets, Straits of Magellan, Chile. The population was censused from aerial photographs taken on 13 October 2002 that yielded an estimate of the number of breeding pairs. A combined total of 4,670 pairs of black-browed albatrosses were found nesting at Elcano and Lobos Islets, 2 of the 4 islets in the Evangelistas group. This new record raises to four the number of breeding islands of this albatross species in Chile.

An estimate of the population sizes of Black-browed (Thalassarche melanophrys) and Grey-headed (T. chrysostoma) Albatrosses breeding in the Diego Ramírez Archipelago, Chile

Abstract The Diego Ramírez Archipelago, Chile, is the southernmost albatross breeding ground in the world and holds globally important numbers of Black-browed (Thalassarche melanophrys) and Grey-headed (T. chrysostoma) Albatrosses. A census in the Diego Ramírez Archipelago has been attempted only once, in 1980–81, with methods that were unlikely to determine population sizes accurately. The number of breeding pairs of both species was estimated in the incubation period of 2002 using a combination of aerial photography, ground-based photography, yacht-based photography and ground counts. All islands in the archipelago were surveyed. There were an estimated 55000 pairs of Black-browed and 17000 pairs of Grey-headed Albatrosses breeding at the archipelago. Based on the results of this census, and those for the other four known breeding locations, the populations of both species of albatrosses in Chile are considerably larger than previously reported, comprising ~20% of the Black-browed Albatrosses and 23% of Grey-headed Albatrosses in the world, with the largest populations of both species occurring in the Diego Ramírez Archipelago.
