Abstract

Breeding European Shag Gulosus aristotelis in in the Russian part of the Barents Sea was first noted in 1932, but the population has remained small. Currently, breeding sites are known from the Seven Islands, the Gavrilovsky Islands, the Ainovy Islands, the Bazarnaya Guba, and the Pechenga Guba. Here we report the breeding of this species near Ura-Guba and in parts of the Barents Sea coast where it has not been found before.
