Cormorant Monitoring in Lower Austria 2004 - 2008
Abstract
Since the mid-eighties the clearly increasing number of migrating cormorants, Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis, in middle Europe during the winter seasons has become also a severe subject of conflict between nature conservationists, ornithologists and fisheries in Austria lately. Lower Austria issued a time-limited regulation, which allowed the harassment and shooting of cormorants in defined river sections of the country (trout and grayling region). The consequences and effects of these harassment actions are monitored to document and evaluate the observed results. The following investigations are taken and data-sets are collected: simultaneous roosting-counts to determine the total number of migrating birds, preferred regions of regional distribution, exploitation of shooting reports, processing of shot cormorants (including morphometrics, food analysis, chemical investigations, skeleton preparation).
