	Hinterland Who's Who - Northern Gannet
		The offshore islands and steep cliffs that appeal to gannets have sometimes been selected for lighthouses, and several gannetries were probably abandoned in the 19th and early 20th centuries because lighthouses were built on them.
		At the end of March, thousands of Northern Gannets leave the southeastern coast of the United States and migrate north to nest on half a dozen islands and capes of the island of Newfoundland and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
		However, after hunting gannets and gathering their eggs were outlawed, the population at the Canadian gannetries gradually recovered to total 87 900 breeding birds by 1990.

	Gannet - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		'GANNET (O.E.' ganot) or Solan Goose, 1 the Pelecanus bassanus of Linnaeus and the Sula bassana of modern ornithologists, a large sea-fowl long known as a numerous visitor, for the purpose of breeding, to the Bass Rock at the entrance of the Firth of Gannet, or Solan Goose.
		The plumage of the adult is white, tinged on the head and neck with buff, while the outer edge and principal quills of the wings are fl, and some bare spaces round the eyes and on the throat reveal a dark blue skin.
		Towards the end of summer the majority of gannets, both old and young, leave the neighbourhood of their breeding-place, and, betaking themselves to the open sea, follow the shoals of herrings and other fishes (the presence of which they are most useful in indicating to fishermen) to a great distance from land.

	Gannet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gannets are seabirds in the family Sulidae, closely related to the boobies.
		The biggest Northern gannet colony is in the Scottish islands of St Kilda; this colony alone comprises 20% of the entire world's population.
		It is interesting to note, however, that gannets are today restricted to temperate oceans whereas boobies are also found in tropical waters, but that several of the prehistoric gannet species had a more equatorial distribution than their congeners of today.

	Gannet Island New Zealand
		Gannet Island, an ancient Maori burial site, is also a very popular fishing and diving spot where huge crayfish and kingfish, are regularly caught in the clear waters surrounding this now remote, dormant volcano jutting out of the Tasman ocean.
		The gannet is a member of the Booby family which consists of tropical birds, and is related to the families of shags, pelicans, and frigate birds.
		Although this gannet is the smallest of the three sub-species, adults have a wing-span of up to 2 m and an average weight of 2 kg.

	Common Gannet
		At other times I have observed the Gannet plunge amidst a shoal of launces so as scarcely to enter the water, and afterwards follow them, swimming, or as it were running, on the water, with its wings extended upwards, and striking to the right and left until it was satiated.
		Gannets do not feed, as some have supposed, and as many have believed, on herring only; for I have found in their stomachs codlings eight inches in length, as well as very large American mackerels, which, by the way, are quite different from those so abundantly met with on the coasts of Europe.
		The feathers of the lower parts of the Gannet differ from those of most other birds, in being extremely convex externally, which lives the bird the appearance of being covered beneath with light shell-work, exceedingly difficult to be represented in a drawing.

	Northern Gannet
		Gannets, like Fulmars, are most abundant in the winter but are still quite common during the Spring and Fall.
		Now the Gannet is shaped like a giant dart, only it is pointed at both ends, as it plunges head-first into the sea.
		In windless conditions, or when they have bellies full of fish, birds with large aspect ratios such as the Northern Gannets may be unable to take-off and have to resort to diving to escape approaching boats or aerial predators such as Jaegers.

	Fairey Gannet - The Black Vault Encyclopedia Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The length of the nose wheel oleo strut causes the Gannet to have a distinctive nose-high attitude, a common characteristic of carrier aircraft.
		(See photos) The Gannet is mostly seen in the distinctive pastel green fuselage colour, with highlights of darker (olive) green on the top and sides of the fuselage running from the nose behind the propellor boss in a straight line to then curve and join the line of the vertical stabiliser (tail).
		At least one Gannet accident was attributed to the vibration from the engine causing fatigue cracking of the tail, to the extent that the tail separated inflight.

	HMS Gannet 1879 - 1888
		Gannet shadowed the action during the 'nitrate' war between Chile and the Peru-Bolivia Alliance and she was present off Callao, Peru, when the Peruvians scuttled their own fleet to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy.
		In 1885, following a two-year refit, Gannet re-commissioned at Sheerness and sailed for the Mediterranean Station, where she was initially used in fleet support duties to General Graham's forces in the Sudan and in slavery patrols, before being ordered to join the squadron protecting the Sudanese port of Suakin.
		Recalled from a mid-commission refit at Malta, Gannet relieved HMS Dolphin at Suakin on the 11th September 1888 and on the 17th September, opened fire with her Poop deck 5" guns in support of land forces against an attack by rebel forces.

	GANNET: A machine learning approach to document retrieval
		At each cycle GANNET adopted various combinations of p sub c and p sub m values to form candidate populations, and selected the best population among these candidates for the net cycle.
		When a desired number of documents was obtained, GANNET retrieved these documents and used them as the chromosomes of the population in the next round of concept optimization (GA) and concept exploration (HP).
		Similar to the finding in GA optimization, GANNET improved the fitness more when the initial number of documents was small and/or when the initial documents were not strongly related.
