Temat: Albatros D.III (Oef .) Bauart 253 1/32 Roden
...Mayrhofer odpisał na forum Tobie tak:
hallo, arekch, the dimensions are 337mm at the rear end ,station 15 and 431mm at the front end ,station 12. this dimensions are the same on all albatros scouts from DI to D V. the tailplane is interchangable between all types. well this is a theoretical case as there are some small variations in the size of the tubing used to hold them (28 mm and 30 mm). so the outline of the tailplane is the same throughout. the late production series 253 albatrosses has wire trailing edges on the elevator and ailerons instead of solid teardrop tubing. cheers koloman mayrhofer

Temat: Albatross Populations Threatened by Disease, Says Study
...the danger of becoming ensnared on long-line hooks. However, a recent paper suggests that avian disease outbreaks, while never previously confirmed in that part of the world, may be at least as significant a factor in the declines of at least some albatross populations.
Amsterdam Island, a remote island in the southern Indian Ocean, is home to the only population of the critically-endangered Amsterdam albatross, and also to a large population of yellow-nosed
albatrosses. Over the last 20 years, this latter population has halved in size, from 37,000 to 18,000 pairs. This decline has generally been ascribed to long line fisheries â and indeed, yellow-nosed albatross are known to be caught in long lines off Australia and South Africa. However, the paper's author argues that "there has been a tendency to attribute decrease of albatross populations to long-line fishing whereas very few studies so far have tried...

...ship M.Y. Esperanza has recently departed Hawaii as part of the Defending Our Oceans expedition (3). The recently declared U.S. National Monument- the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands lies close to this accumulation of trash, putting one of the most vital links in the chain of oceans health at risk.
"During the course of the Defending Our Oceans expedition, we have seen coastlines covered in rubbish, but out at sea the problem becomes even greater - with turtles,
albatrosses and many other marine creatures becoming entangled in floating plastic or even choking on it," warned Greenpeace International scientist, Adam Walters, onboard the Esperanza. "The danger to marine life has been known for decades, but the scale of the problem has not been realised. With plastic consumption rapidly increasing globally, plastic has become ubiquitous in the ocean," added Walters.

Notwithstanding the recent enormous human tragedy on the Indian Ocean's shores, oceans have also suffered greatly in the past year.

According to Namibian marine scientist Dr Hashali Hamukuaya, who is the Executive Secretary of Seafo, the regional ocean management organisation aimed to ensure sustainable, responsible fishing in this part of the Atlantic Ocean.
"Seafo implements an eco-system approach and we agreed on these conservation measures as well as to reduce incidental mortality of seabirds, especially petrels and
albatrosses, by fishing gear adjustments for trawlers and other technical measures during fishing operations," Hamukuaya said in a statement released after the meeting.
"We also want to reduce mortality of sea turtles in fishing operations by making vessels promptly release turtles entangled in fishing gear when nets are pulled in."
