During the austral summer of 2005/2006, the third five-yearly survey of all Gentoo Penguins breeding in the Falklands Archipelago was undertaken. Results are presented and compared to previous population estimates. The number of breeding pairs in 2005/2006 was estimated at 65,857, a decline of 42% since 2000, which was attributed largely to paralytic shellfish poisoning resulting from a harmful algal bloom event in 2002. Based on a selected number of colonies that were monitored annually, the population increased by over 95% after 2000, and numbered a record high of some 128,500 breeding pairs in 2008. On average, annual breeding success was 1.01 (ranging between 0.51 and 1.44) chicks per breeding pair. Although no particular trend was evident, breeding success was above average between 2004 and 2008 which is likely to contribute towards future population growth. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> </body> </html>
