Traditional fishing activities enhance the abundance of selected waterbird species in a wetland in India

Avian Research, 2017
Background Waterbirds are globally declining as a result of habitat loss, alteration or degradation. Fishing activities may affect waterbird distribution, abundance and diversity, and traditional fishing activities often enhance waterbird abundance.
