Zusammenfassung:In their recent essay in Avian Conservation and Ecology, Dorr et al were compelled to clear up apparent misunderstandings they felt were perpetrated by the separate editorials of Hobson and Cooke dealing specifically with the Ontario government's decision to allow a province-wide public cull of Double-crested Cormorants (Nannopterum auritum) in response to perceived conflicts with fisheries, conservation objectives, and human recreation. They claim to have addressed "misconceptions about cormorant and fishery interactions, summarize the current state of knowledge on the issue, and discuss a different approach based on collective experience in the US." They further suggest that both editorials imply that "cormorants rarely, if ever, are an issue for any reason, and that management is rarely warranted."
