Rubega, M.A., and Oring, L.W. Excretory organ growth and implications for salt tolerance in hatchling American avocets Recurvirostra americana.
Acclimation to saline habitats in aquatic birds involves increases in the relative size and complexity of the salt glands, and it is generally agreed that salt gland size varies as a function of salt loading, and is broadly correlated with habitat salinity..
Mean relative (mg/g body mass) salt gland masses for newly hatched (< 24 h old) avocet chicks collected at a wetland supplied with pumped fresh water was 0.48 mg salt gland/g body mass.

Behind a ca.10km strip of coastal dunes, in some areas with a cover of Sahelian-type vegetation, the site includes a number of wetland types, from both permanent and temporary brackish and saline lakes and pools, estuarine waters, intertidal mud/sand flats and forested wetlands, sandy shores, and intertidal marshes.
A number of small-scale traditional fishing and transhumant grazing practices are seen in the area, which also receives an annual allotment of fresh water under the management plan of the Diawling Park.
