Impact of cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis L.) colonies on microbial pollution in lakes

Limnological Review, 2013
During 2009-2011 we investigated the effect of perennial and roosting cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) colonies on microbial pollution in 3 lakes: Góreckie (Greater Poland National Park), Chrzypsko (Greater Poland Province) and Ostrowiec (Drawa ...

APPLICATION OF THE GREAT CORMORANT'S (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) DAILY MEAL IN THE STIMATION OF DAMAGES AT FISHPONDS [PDF]

Croatian Journal of Fisheries, 2004
Daily meal of the Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis), joined with the number of birds and composition of fish in the meal, has high importance in total calculation of damage-costs on fish stock.

Microchemical provenancing of prey remains in cormorant pellets reveals the use of diverse foraging grounds. [PDF]

J Wildl Manage, 2022
Microchemical provenancing was successfully applied to otoliths exposed to digestion by piscivorous birds and it was possible to clarify on a small scale from which waterbodies or habitat clusters the birds obtain their food. By the use of prey provenancing, site‐specific management plans can be developed and the effect of management measures on ...

The Corneal Structure of the Yellow-Legged Gull, Larus michahellis (Naumann, 1840). [PDF]

J Morphol
This study examines the cornea of Larus michahellis using light and electron microscopy, revealing essential structural details. The corneal epithelium is a nonkeratinized, stratified layer with microridges and microvilli that improve optical properties.

Long‐term monitoring of pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) populations under increasing temperatures and predator abundances in the Finnish coastal waters of the Baltic Sea

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 32, Issue 4, Page 750-764, October 2023., 2023
Abstract The Baltic Sea has been under intense environmental changes in the recent decades, such as climate change, eutrophication and increasing abundance of top‐predators, which pose serious challenges to its aquatic life. For informed conservation measures and sustainable yields, we need to understand how the populations are being affected ...

Impacts of predation by Eurasian otters on Atlantic salmon in two Norwegian rivers

Freshwater Biology, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 1176-1193, July 2023., 2023
Abstract The return of the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) to western Norway has sparked human–predator conflicts because otters prey on vulnerable Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations. Although predation may not be the ultimate cause of salmon population declines, otters that kill adult salmon in rivers before they spawn impact the salmon spawning ...

Great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) predation on adult anadromous brown trout (Salmo trutta)

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 488-495, April 2023., 2023
Abstract The increase in abundance of great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) over the last decades has caused concern for the sustainability of fish populations. Cormorants are opportunistic piscivorous birds that eat fish from a wide range of species and sizes, in marine, lacustrine and riverine habitats.

Investigating the behaviour of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) post‐smolts during their early marine migration through the Clyde Marine Region

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 1285-1300, November 2022., 2022
Abstract It is thought that survival during migration is particularly poor for Atlantic salmon post‐smolts immediately after entry into sea and particularly in the estuarine environment. Nonetheless, there is currently a lack of information on Atlantic salmon post‐smolt movement behaviour in estuaries in the UK.

Size matters? Species‐ and size‐specific fish predation on recently established invasive quagga mussels Dreissena rostriformis bugensis Andrusov 1897 in a large, deep oligotrophic lake

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1272-1282, May 2022., 2022
Abstract Since its first appearance in Lake Constance in 2016 the invasive quagga mussel Dreissena rostriformis bugensis has come to dominate the mussel community and now occurs in hyperabundant densities over the whole lake bottom. A lake‐wide field study was conducted between 2019 and 2020 to obtain a systematic insight into the importance of this ...
