Cormorant monitoring in Lower Austria 2013/14 - 2016/17
Abstract
Since the mid-eighties the increasing number of migrating cormorants, Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis, in middle Europe during the winter season has become a subject of severe conflicts and ongoing discussions between various interest groups. Lower Austria issued a derogation rule which allows the harassment and shooting of cormorants along defined river sections mainly focusing on trout and grayling regions. Simultaneous roost counts are carried out to collect data about the wintering population, an overview about the reported shooting records will be presented also by the end of the season.
