Cephalopod beaks, fish otoliths and eye lenses were dominant in the diets. About 90% of the food items of petrels were in the gizzard and were mainly cephalopod beaks, which are resistant to digestion. Among anthropogenic items ingested, plastics were most frequent and most numerous. Cephalopods predominated in the diet of White-chinned and Spectacled Petrels, mainly squids from the family Histioteuthidae. Fish had greater importance in the diet of both albatrosses. Demersal fish occurred in the diet of both albatrosses and the White-chinned Petrel. Coastal fish distributed over the continental shelf were found in a higher number and diversity in beached birds than in birds killed in longline fisheries. Cephalopods predominated both in number and diversity in the diet of longline-caught birds, mainly sub-Antarctic and subtropical species. Approximately 40% of this diet was composed of fish and cephalopods that were probably discarded from fisheries, evidence of a strong interaction between these birds and fisheries in southern Brazil.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:1.45pt;text-align:justify;text-justify: inter-ideograph'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Key-words: diet, Procellariiformes, albatrosses, petrels, cephalopods, fish, Brazil<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></p> </div> </body> </html>
