Underwater hearing in the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis): Methodological considerations [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2016
The underwater hearing threshold of a great cormorant (Phalacrocroax carbo sinensis) was measured at 2 kHz using psychophysical methods. Previous in-air and underwater testing suggests that cormorants have rather poor in-air hearing compared to other birds of similar size (Johansen, 2016).

Cormorant catch concerns for fishers: estimating the size-selectivity of a piscivorous bird. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Conflict arises in fisheries worldwide when piscivorous birds target fish species of commercial value. This paper presents a method for estimating size selectivity functions for piscivores and uses it to compare predation selectivities of Great ...

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

open access: yesEcology 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

open access: yesFreshwater 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)

open access: yesEcology 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.

Amfibisk hørelse hos en dykkende fugl, mellemskarven (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 2020
Diving birds can spend several minutes underwater during pursuit-dive foraging. To find and capture prey, such as fish and squid, they probably need several senses in addition to vision. Cormorants, very efficient predators of fish, have unexpectedly low visual acuity underwater.

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

open access: yesJournal 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.
