The male spends more time guarding and maintaining the nest, while the female is more involved in incubation and feeding the chick.
Hunting areas are often located 100 km or more offshore from the nest sites, although when feeding their young, the birds venture out only half that distance.
It can eat shallow-bodied fish as long as 18 cm, but its prey is commonly smaller fish, around 7 cm long.
