<p class=MsoBodyText style='mso-pagination:none'>The distribution and abundance
of Little Penguins <i>Eudyptula minor</i><span style='font-style:normal'> was
investigated at 12 known colony locations on mainland south-eastern Tasmania, </span><span
lang=EN-AU style='mso-ansi-language:EN-AU'>Australia</span>. Surveys of
scientific journals, unpublished field surveys and oral records were compiled
to assess the historical distribution (before 1996) of this species within a
150 km radius of Hobart. Current status of each site was assessed by conducting
surveys of the areas of historical distribution during the 2002/03 breeding
season. Transects were used to conduct burrow counts, supplemented by counts of
penguins coming ashore at night. Of the 12 colonies examined, four have
disappeared and two have decreased appreciably in size within the last decade.
Potential causes of these decreases include predation by introduced
vertebrates, habitat modification and destruction and incidental drowning in
recreational gillnets.<o:p></o:p></p>
