Same with the cormorants. In the late 1970's the cormorant was put on the endangered species list. Now, 40+ years later just in the Lac La Biche area there are many thousand breeding pairs. One cormorant eats up to 1.5 lbs. of fish a day. And we wonder why the perch fishing isn't like it used to be. I have seen colonies of cormorants at places where trout are stocked.
