Mortality data for Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) housed in zoos and aquariums in the United States has not previously been published. Necropsy and histopathology records were examined for Magellanic penguins housed at 12 Association of Zoos and Aquariums institutions from 2008 through 2018. If birds lived through the first year, the mean longevity was found to be 18.9 years of age (standard deviation: 7.9). Prefledge chicks and geriatric penguins experienced the highest mortality rates. Aspergillosis was a major cause of death in this species. There was no significant difference in mortality between males and females. Based on these data, recommendations for the husbandry and veterinary care of captive Magellanic penguins can be made.

2008-2018 年美国圈养麦哲伦企鹅 (Spheniscus magellanicus) 死亡率的回顾性分析

美国动物园和水族馆中的麦哲伦企鹅 (Spheniscus magellanicus) 的死亡率数据此前尚未公布。从 2008 年到 2018 年，我们对 12 家动物园和水族馆协会机构中饲养的麦哲伦企鹅进行了尸检和组织病理学记录。如果鸟类能活过第一年，则平均寿命为 18.9 岁（标准差：7.9）。幼雏和老年企鹅的死亡率最高。曲霉病是该物种死亡的主要原因。男性和女性的死亡率没有显着差异。根据这些数据，可以对圈养麦哲伦企鹅的饲养和兽医护理提出建议。
