Summary
On the Bonaventure Island (48.4972799N, 64.1618626W), gannets marked with a Fish and Wildlife Service steel ring and monitored since. Introduction ly The Northern Gannet is the biggest marine bird to nest in the St-Lawrence. The n Bonaventure Island colony is one of the most o important gannet colony in the world with about 70% of total North America population.[1] e since a few years that number is lows ering. Gannets monitoring studies are essene tial in providing insight into possible environm mental damage. O On one hand, the study of the immune system of those birds could allow to pinpoint an c explanation to this drastic decrease in their n population. DNA damage related to environmental genotoxicants is a o crucial point as they can lead to mutations and N developmental impairment or cancer occurand collected in 5.0 mL heparinized tubes. The blood samples were brought back in a field laboratory on the day of collection
