（學名：），以前稱為 Puffinus carneipes 是一種中等大小的鸌。它的羽毛是黑色的。有淡粉色的腳，和一個淡色的喙，喙端有明顯的黑色尖端。 與同樣淡色喙的粉足鸌一起，形成 Hemipuffinus 超種，或許與大西洋的灰水薙鳥有近親關係。Austin JJ 1996 Molecular phylogenetics of Puffinus shearwaters preliminary evidence from mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 6 7788Austin JJ Bretagnolle V Pasquet E 2004 A global molecular phylogeny of the small Puffinus shearwaters and implications for systematics of the LittleAudubons Shearwater complex Auk 121 847864 這些大型鸌是那些被分類到水薙鳥屬（Ardenna）的鳥類之一。Penhallurick J and Wink M 2004 Analysis of the taxonomy and nomenclature of the Procellariiformes based on complete nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene Emu 104 125147 最近的基因分析表明，相對於南澳和西澳的鸌，與在太平洋的鸌之間有強烈的分化證據，這被認為是由於繁殖季節期間的歸巢性和覓食策略的差異所導致的。 2021 年發表的一項分子系統發生學研究發現肉足鸌和粉足鸌（Ardenna creatopus）之間幾乎沒有基因差異。該研究的作者建議這兩個分類群可能更適合作為同種來考慮。 特徵 淡足鸌體重約 609 克，翼長約 3102 毫米，嘴峰長約 478 毫米，喙寬度約 89 毫米，喙厚度約 121 毫米，跗蹠長約 521 毫米，尾長約 1102 毫米。淡足鸌是候鳥，其棲息在開放的海洋及海島環境中，食性為肉食性，主要食物來源是水生動物。 分佈 南印度洋和西南太平洋；越冬於阿拉伯海和西北太平洋。 肉足鸌在群體中繁殖，並有兩個主要的繁殖區域；一個在西南太平洋包括豪勳爵島（22654 對，南澳（約 1800 對在兩個島上繁殖 Lavers J 2014 Population status and threats to Fleshfooted Shearwaters Puffinus carneipes in South and Western Australia ICES Journal of Marine Science 和紐西蘭北部（13000 對 Waugh S M Tennyson A Taylor G and Wilson KJ 2013 Population sizes of shearwaters Puffinus spp breeding in New Zealand with recommendations for monitoring Tuhinga 24 159204；另一個群體包括不超過 36000 對在從盧恩角到裡歇什群島沿西澳海岸的 42 個島嶼上繁殖。 另外有 500 對在印度洋的聖保羅島繁殖。記錄顯示在阿拉伯海的巴基斯坦阿斯托拉島上也有發現，但未被證實。最近的證據顯示該物種的種群在其大部分範圍內正在下降。Reid T Hindell M Lavers JL Wilcox C 2013 Reexamining mortality sources and population trends in a declining seabird using Bayesian methods to incorporate existing information and new data PLoS One 8e58230Waugh SM Tennyson A Taylor G Wilson KJ 2013 Population sizes of shearwaters Puffinus spp breeding in New Zealand with recommendations for monitoring Tuhinga 24159204Priddel D Carlile N Fullagar P Hutton I ONeill L 2006 Decline in the distribution and abundance of Fleshfooted Shearwaters Puffinus carneipes on Lord Howe Island Australia Biological Conservation 128412424Waugh SM Tennyson A Taylor G and Wilson KJ 2013 Population sizes of shearwaters Puffinus spp breeding in New Zealand with recommendations for monitoring Tuhinga 24 159204 該物種最近在澳大利亞被列為近危 Garnett S Szabo J Dutson G 2011 The Action Plan for Australian Birds 2010，在紐西蘭被列為國家易危，Robertson HA Dowding JE Elliott GP Hitchmough RA Miskelly CM ODonnell CFJ Powlesland RG Sagar PM Scofield RP Taylor GA 2013 Conservation status of New Zealand birds 2012 New Zealand Threat Classification Series 4 Department of Conservation Wellington 並建議列入《保護信天翁和鸌類協議》。Cooper J Baker GB 2008 Identifying candidate species for inclusion within the Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels Marine Ornithology 36 18 在澳洲各省，該物種在西澳 DPaW 2015 Wildlife conservation specially protected fauna notice 2015 Government gazette of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife Perth 和新南威爾士被列為易危，在南澳被列為稀有。 該物種作為（北方）夏季訪客出現在北太平洋，Bond AL and Lavers JL 2015 Fleshfooted Shearwaters Puffinus carneipes in the northeastern Pacific Ocean a summary and synthesis of records from Canada and Alaska Canadian FieldNaturalist 129 263267 在漁撈過程中可能有大量被誤捕。Reid T Tuck GN Hindell MA Thalmann S Phillips RA Wilcox C 2013 Nonbreeding distribution of Fleshfooted Shearwaters and the potential for overlap with north Pacific fisheries Biological Conservation 166310Lavers JL Bond AL Van Wilgenburg SL and Hobson KA 2013 Linking atsea mortality of a pelagic shearwater to breeding colonies of origin using biogeochemical markers Marine Ecology Progress Series 491265275 該物種還受到氣候相關影響 Bond AL Lavers JL 2014 Climate change alters the trophic niche of a declining apex marine predator Global Change Biology 20 21002107 和顯著的重金屬汙染的影響，其原因尚不完全清楚，但很可能是由於攝入大量塑膠導致，鳥類會將其誤認為漂浮在海面上的食物。Bond AL Lavers JL 2011 Trace element concentrations in feathers of Fleshfooted Shearwaters Puffinus carneipes from across their breeding range Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology 61318326Lavers JL Bond AL Hutton I 2014 Plastic ingestion by Fleshfooted Shearwaters Puffinus carneipes implications for fledgling body condition and the accumulation of plasticderived chemicals Environmental Pollution 187 124129Hutton I Carlile N Priddel D 2008 Plastic ingestion by Fleshfooted Shearwaters Puffinus carneipes and Wedgetailed Shearwaters Puffinus pacificus Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania 參考文獻 D D
