Summary ²

The Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross (Thalassarche chlororhynchos) is a large seabird in the albatross family. This small mollymawk was once considered conspecific with the Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross and known as the Yellow-nosed Albatross. Some authorities still believe the species to be the same, such as Jeff Clements and the SACC, which recognizes that a proposal is needed.
