List of Procellariiformes by population

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

This is a list of Procellariiformes species by global population. While numbers are estimates, they have been made by the experts in their fields. For more information on how these estimates were ascertained, see Wikipedia's articles on population biology and population ecology.

This list is not comprehensive, as not all Procellariiformes have had their numbers quantified.
