The Snapshot-method (Tasker et al., 1984). is used for the standardized counts of flying birds. All  birds flying in a 300 by 300 meters quadrant in front of ths ship are counted every minute. These counting results can be converted to seabird densities by taking the speed of the shipe into account.
Voor het gestandaardiseerd tellen van vliegende vogels is de snapshot-methode gehanteerd (Tasker et al., 1984). Hierbij worden iedere minuut alle vliegende vogels geteld die zich binnen een kwadrant van 300 op 300 meter aan de voorkant van het schip bevinden. De resultaten van deze tellingen kunnen via de snelheid van de boot worden omgerekend naar dichtheden van zeevogels.</para>

The ship counts were done by the so-called Transect-method (Tasker et al., 1984), for which all swimming birds were counted within a 300 m range from the ship and in an 90° angle from the front of the ship, and this during consecutive periods of 10 minutes each
De scheepstellingen werden verricht volgens de zogenaamde transect-methode (Tasker et al., 1984), waarbij gedurende opeenvolgende periodes van 10 minuten alle zwemmende vogels worden geteld die zich binnen een afstand van 300 m van het schip en in een hoek van 90° vanaf de voorkant van het schip bevinden.</para>
