Spectacled Petrel (Procellaria conspicillata) attending on fishing vessels in the Argentina Sea.- We report new sightings of Spectacled Petrel (Procellaria conspicillata) attending on fishing vessels in the Argentina Sea. Between 2008 and 2014, 18 individuals were observed in the Argentine-Uruguayan Common Fishing Zone and near the permanent closure zone to fishing common hake (Merluccius hubbsi). Most observations (75%) were made in the trawl operations with discards. We did not observe mortality; however, the species could be vulnerable to its incidental capture.

Keywords : Argentine Sea; Procellaria conspicillata; Spectacled Petrel; Trawlers.
