Longevity Records For The Waved Albatross Phoebastria irrorata.
The Waved (Galápagos) Albatross Phoebastria irrorata is endemic to Ecuador. Virtually the entire population of adults breeds on Española Island, Galápagos, Ecuador, and only a few pairs nest on La Plata Island, off the coast of mainland Ecuador (Anderson et al. 2008, Awkerman et al. 2014). When not breeding, the species occurs in the waters of the Humboldt Current off the west coast of South America, extending at least from El Chocó (Colombia)
southward to the extreme north of Chile (Granizo 2002, Awkerman et al. 2014). It is considered critically endangered because the population appears to be declining owing to increasing mortality as bycatch in longline fisheries (Awkerman et al. 2006, JiménezUzcátegui et al. 2006, BirdLife International 2014, IUCN 2015).
