Journal of Natural History, 2013 Associations of birds with foraging otters are restricted to four records in different regions of the world. We report herein on piscivorous birds associated with foraging otters (Lontra longicaudis) in a pool at an urban park in southeastern Brazil. We recorded up to ˜30 individuals of seven piscivorous bird species associated with a single otter. The

Pathogenicity of Clinostomum complanatum (Digenea: Clinostomidae) in piscivorous birds
Research in Veterinary Science, 2013The present study is focused on the pathogenicity of a parasitic digenea, Clinostomum complanatum among dead piscivorous birds, collected after mass mortalities in northern Iran. A total of 126 birds (15 species) were examined for parasitic infections.

Piscivorous birds as top predators and fishery competitors in the lagoon ecosystem
Hydrobiologia, 2008Piscivorous birds have received much attention with respect to competition with fisheries for resources. The majority of studies have been focused on cormorants Phalacrocoracidae, while predation by other piscivorous bird species has often been overlooked. This study was designed to supplement sociological research (Bell, 2004), which revealed that the

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE ABUNDANCE OF PISCIVOROUS BIRDS ON LAKE KYLE, ZIMBABWE
Ostrich, 1987Summary Junor, F. J. R. & Marshall, B. E. 1987. Factors influencing the abundance of piscivorous birds on Lake Kyle, Zimbabwe. Ostrich 58:168-175. A five-year census of fish-eating birds on Lake Kyle, Zimbabwe, revealed that eight species were present in significant numbers with the Reed Cormorant being the most abundant.

Asymmetric impact of piscivorous birds on size-structured fish populations
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2006Fish are frequently considered the top predator in freshwater food web models despite evidence that predatory birds can impact fish populations. In this study, we quantified bird predation rates on experimental populations of rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum, 1792)) created by stocking nine small lakes in British Columbia, Canada ...

Estimating Mercury Exposure of Piscivorous Birds and Sport Fish Using Prey Fish Monitoring
Environmental Science & Technology, 2015 Methylmercury is a global pollutant of aquatic ecosystems, and monitoring programs need tools to predict mercury exposure of wildlife. We developed equations to estimate methylmercury exposure of piscivorous birds and sport fish using mercury concentrations in prey fish. We collected original data on western grebes (Aechmophorus occidentalis) and Clark'
