Abstract
We provide results of ship-based surveys undertaken in Canadian Arctic and sub-Arctic waters during September and October 2005, a time of year when very few systematic surveys of that region have been conducted.We performed 500 strip transects (10-minute durations), covering approximately 553 km 2 throughout the Northwest Passage, along the east coast of Baffin Island, in Hudson Strait and Hudson Bay, and along the Labrador Coast, ending in the Strait of Belle Isle.Density indices of seabird species were generally low (5 birds/km 2 ) in the eastern Canadian Arctic, with the exception of a few areas of high concentration along the southeast coast of Baffin Island (33 birds/ km 2 ) and at the eastern mouth of the Hudson Strait (132 birds/km 2 ).We recorded 951 birds of 13 species sitting on the sea and, during instantaneous counts within transects, 1564 birds of 14 species in flight.In Arctic waters, mean density indices were highest in Hudson Strait (8.3 1.9 birds/km 2 ) and lowest in southern Hudson Bay (0.34 0.2 birds/km 2 ).Across all regions, however, mean density indices were highest in transects off the coast of Labrador (10.8 1.8 bird/km 2 ).Where mean density indices were high, sightings were dominated by Northern Fulmars Fulmarus glacialis or Dovekies Alle alle (or both).Our abundance and distribution data are consistent with previously published studies, suggesting that several marine bird populations migrating eastward through Hudson Strait and south along the coast of Baffin Island converge at the eastern mouth of the Hudson Strait.Our study presents further evidence that the eastern margin of Hudson Strait constitutes an important staging area for migrant seabirds during September and October, particularly for the Northern Fulmar, Dovekie and Thick-billed Murre Uria lomvia.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
