Abstract
A small sample of seabirds was examined to determine pectoral muscle and liver weights and carcass, muscle and liver lipid content. There were notable differences between the 3 spp. examined (puffin, fulmar and manx shearwater). It is tentatively suggested that there are physiological correlates for the known differences in the life-styles of these 3 seabird species.
