Abstract
    Bits and pieces of fishing nets found at Jan Mayen island (central Greenland Sea) often contain entangled remains of seabirds. Brünnich's Guillemots Uria lomviaAlle alle alle were the commonest species encountered, but also Puffin Fratercula arctica naumanni and Northern Fulmars Fulmarus glacialis were found. Pieces of coarse trawl nets and fine gill nets were found. It is unclear if the birds drowned when the nets were still in use, or if the birds drowned in ghost-nets. Only few and brief visits were made on Jan Mayen's beaches between 1983 and 2000, but the frequency of finds suggests strongly that substantial numbers of seabirds drown in fishing gear around this remote island in the North Atlantic.
