Population justification: The population on the Crozet Islands was estimated at 600-700 pairs in 1980-1982 and on the Kerguelen Islands the population was estimated at 15,000-20,000 pairs in 1982-1985, although the numbers on the Kerguelen Islands could have been much lower. The maximum estimate for the total population in the early 1980s is therefore 31,200-41,400 mature individuals (roughly equating to 45,000-60,000 indidivuals in total), however the population is expected to have declined significantly since (A. Green in litt. 1999).
Trend justification: The population trend over the next three generations is projected to show a 30-49% decline based on the expected levels of predation by introduced mammals.
