It is in the phase of recovery from a long-term decline in the numbers, with its population drastically increasing throughout Japan. This potentially impacts cormorant’s predation conflicts with inland fisheries. Recent cormorant migrants often appear to inhabit more urbanized areas although the species once preferred habitats remote from human activities. This novel dwelling preference remains unexplained. The present study aimed to understand the processes promoting their expansion, especially focusing on those that help acquire foraging success in urban habitats. Measurements on primary production in aquatic ecosystem did not detect superiority of urban habitats over rural ones.

Hepworth l , and Louis N. Bergl ABSTRACT.-Counts of Double-crested Cormorants (Fhalacroconu aurit-us) were made at 13 reservoirs and lakes in southwestern Utah during 1989-91 to determine current abundance of that species. Food habits of cormorants were studied at three of the reservoirs in 1989. Data were also collected on trout abundance during standardized gill-netting to make comparisons between cormorant numbers and trout abundance. Cormorants were observed at all waters studied except one and were generally most numerous during the spring as they migrated through the area.
