| Abstract | Seabirds are considered good bioindicators for environmental issues, such as contamination, productivity, and health. Fish industry, climate change, bioinvasions, and pollution are the most reported threats to seabird populations. The aim of this review is to address those threats and discuss the health issues that impact seabirds in Brazil through the lens of conservation medicine. In total, 93 records were selected, regarding the previously mentioned threats, as well as the interaction between seabirds and etiologic agents and chemical compounds. The most studied species was the Spheniscus magellanicus and most of the records were published in the last 10 years, which indicates that although the health status of this group is still poorly addressed in Brazil, the studies have been increasing and created a background for the development of new research on this topic. This manuscript also highlights the urgency in performing transdisciplinary studies to better understand the health risks for seabirds and human populations associated with marine ecosystems. |
