| Abstract | Cormorants Phalacrocorax carbo have increased on European freshwaters, creating conflicts with fishing interests. As a result, control measures have been implemented in several countries, although their effect on the English population has yet to be determined. Wetland Bird Survey data was used to derive population growth rates (PGR) of non-coastal Cormorant populations in England. PGR was analysed in relation to control intensity at different scales (5- to 30-km radius) from 2001 to 2009 in order to determine (1) the extent to which control intensity (proportion of the local population shot per winter) was associated with site-level population change, and (2) whether potential effects of control intensity were evident on Special Protection Areas (SPAs). There were no clear differences in PGR when comparing sites which had experienced control versus sites where control had never been carried out. The few significant relationships between control intensity and Cormorant PGR detected were mostly positive, i.e. population growth was associated with higher control intensity. Control intensity was not related to Cormorant numbers in SPAs. Positive associations with control may arise because control is reactive, or because non-lethal effects cause greater dispersal of Cormorants. These results provide no evidence that Cormorant removal at local scales is having an effect on longer term (i.e. year-to-year) population size at a site level. They also suggest that control measures have not affected national population trends, although a better understanding of site use and movements of individual Cormorants needs to be developed at smaller scales (including those due to disturbance caused by control measures) to more fully understand processes at larger scales. Further research is also needed into the extent to which lethal and non-lethal effects of control on Cormorants are having the desired impact on predation rates of fish, and so help resolve the conflict between Cormorants and fisheries. Genehmigte Bestandskontrollen führen nicht zur Reduzierung lokaler Kormoranbestände Phalacrocorax carbo im Winter Durch die Zunahme der Kormoranbestände in europäischen Binnengewässern sind Konflikte mit Interessen der Fischerei entstanden. Als Folge davon wurden in verschiedenen Ländern bestandsregulierende Maßnahmen eingeführt, obwohl ein Effekt auf die englische Population bisher nicht festgestellt werden konnte. Zur Berechnung von Populationswachstumsraten (population growth rates PGR) binnenländischer Kormoranvorkommen in England wurden Daten aus Wasservogelzählungen herangezogen. Für die Jahre 2001 bis 2009 wurden PGR im Hinblick auf die Intensität der Maßnahmen in verschiedenen räumlichen Skalen (5 km bis 30 km Radius) berechnet, um folgendes zu bestimmen: (1) das Ausmaß in dem die Maßnahmenintensität (Anteil der geschossenen Individuen an der lokalen Population pro Winter) assoziiert war mit gebietsbezogenen Populationsveränderungen und (2) ob die Maßnahmenintensität mögliche Einflüsse auf EU-Vogelschutzgebiete (special protection areas SPAs) hat. Beim Vergleich der Gebiete mit und ohne Durchführung bestandsregulierender Maßnahmen konnten keine klaren Unterschiede in PGR nachgewiesen werden. Die wenigen signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen Maßnahmenintensität und Kormoran PGR waren meisten positiv, d.h. das Populationswachstum stand im Zusammenhang mit einer höheren Maßnahmenintensität. Die Maßnahmenintensität stand nicht in Beziehung mit Kormoranzahlen in SPAs. Positive Folgen bestandsregulierender Maßnahmen können entstehen, da solche Kontrollmaßnahmen reaktiv wirken oder nicht-letale Effekte eine größere Dispersion der Kormorane bedingt. Diese Ergebnisse belegen nicht, dass Kormoranabschüsse auf lokalen Ebenen einen gebietsbezogenen Langzeiteffekt (d.h. in darauf folgenden Jahren) auf die Populationsgröße haben. Sie deuten auch darauf hin, dass Kontrollmaßnahmen landesweite Populationstrends nicht beeinflussen. Obgleich ein besseres Verständnis von Gebietswahl und kleinräumigen Bewegungen von Kormoranen (einschließlich solcher, die durch Störungen aufgrund von Kontrollmaßnahmen verursacht werden) erreicht werden muss, um die großräumigen Prozesse besser bewerten zu können. Weitere Untersuchungen sind nötig, um zu klären, in welchem Ausmaß letale und nicht-letale Auswirkungen bestandsregulierender Maßnahmen bei Kormoranen tatsächlich einen gewünschten Effekt auf Fisch-Prädationsraten bewirken. Nur so kann der Konflikt zwischen Kormoranen und der Fischerei gelöst werden. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
