Pelicans on Alberta Lakes
A report on Oneida Lake in New york and Minersville Reservior in Utah have implicated cormorants as a major cause for reduced fish populations in those areas.
Cormorants feedings @300x1.43lbs/day x 5 mos = 64,350 lbs
Pelicans feeding @ 60 x 3.75 lbs / day x 5 mos = 33,750 lbs
total = 98,100 lbs
With the number Cormorants and Pelicans in southern Aberta lakes they are taking more than thier fair share of fish.
