Resumen
La dieta de la Gaviota de Olrog (Larus atlanticus) fue monitoreada durante los períodos no reproductivos de 2004, 2005 y 2006 en la Laguna costera Mar Chiquita, (Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina). Los cangrejos Neohelice granulata y Cyrtograpsus angulatus fueron las presas más importantes durante los tres períodos de muestreo. En líneas generales la proporción de sexos consumidos estuvo desviada hacia los machos para N. granulata y hacia las hembras de C. angulatus. En el primer caso, el desvío hacia el consumo de machos podría vincularse a que estos individuos se encuentran más frecuentemente en la entrada de sus cuevas que las hembras y por lo tanto estarían más expuestos a la predación. Las mayores talla promedio de N. granulata fueron consumidas durante el otoño de 2005 y 2006, y durante el invierno de 2004. En los años 2005 y 2006 se observaron diferencias las tallas promedio de C. angulatus entre las estaciones invierno y primavera.
We studied differences in the diet of this species in Mar Chiquita Lagoon during three consecutive non-breeding seasons. Diet was assessed by analysis of regurgitated pellets. The varunid crabs were the most important preys, with Neohelice granulata (70%) being dominant numerically over Cyrtograpsus angulatus (30%) throughout the non-breeding cycle. Other crab species, insects, and fish were occasionally present in the diet. The proportion of sexes consumed was biased to the males for N. granulata and to females of C. angulatus. In the first case, the bias to the consumption of males could be linked to these individuals are most often at the entrance of their burrows than females and thus be more exposed to predation. The largest average size of N. granulata was consumed during the autumn of 2005 and 2006 and in winter 2004. The average size of C. angulatus was significantly different between winter and spring seasons during 2005 and 2006.
