Validation Of Water Flux And Body Composition In Glaucous Gulls (Larus Hyperboreus), Scott A. Shaffer, Gabrielsen, G.W., Verreault, J, Costa, D.P Jan 2006

Validation Of Water Flux And Body Composition In Glaucous Gulls (Larus Hyperboreus), Scott A. Shaffer, Gabrielsen, G.W., Verreault, J, Costa, D.P

Faculty Publications, Biological Sciences

Water influx rates (WIR) measured with tritiated water dilution were compared with direct measures of water and energy intake in glaucous gulls (Larus hyperboreus). Total body water (TBW) measured isotopically was also compared with TBW determined by body composition analysis (BCA) of the same birds. Seventeen wild gulls were captured and studied in outdoor enclosures at Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, in July 2002. Gulls were hand-fed known quantities of Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) or given water on the basis of one of four experimental treatments: (A) fasting, (B) fish only, (C) water only, or (D) fish and water. Water and energy content …
