  • Essex Otter Survey 2007 Darren Tansley ESSEX Water for Wildlife Officer Wildlife Trust January 2008
    Essex Otter Survey 2007 Darren Tansley ESSEX Water for Wildlife Officer Wildlife Trust January 2008 Protecting Wildlife for the Future Essex Otter Survey 2007 Darren Tansley - Water for Wildlife Below: Left is a fresh spraint with a black, tarry appearance. Right is an older spraint which is whiter and Background crumbly with obvious fish bones and scales visible. In the early 1950s otters Lutra lutra were widespread and common in Essex. Over the subsequent thirty years they experienced a massive decline with surveys in the mid 1980s suggesting they were extinct in the county. This population collapse was attributed to a decline in habitat quality and an increase in environmental contaminants accumulating in the food chain leading to poor reproductive success and survival rates. Long term post-mortem studies of otters, usually the victims of road traffic accidents, have revealed that accumulations of a number of toxins are higher in older males and juveniles than in breeding females. This is thought to be the result of mothers unloading toxins through their milk directly to their cubs. Males cannot pass toxins in this way so these accumulate over the course of their lifetime. While some chemicals have declined over the course of these studies (e.g., dieldrin, TDE and pp’DDE), organochlorines and PCBs have remained constant. Substantial deformities and reproductive failure are often the result of high levels of such toxins (Simpson, 2007). Another concern was the number of otters with bite wounds, up from 16% in 1996, to 52% in 2003. While bites from dogs were a significant contribution to deaths in cubs, most of the adult wounds were from other otters (Simpson 2007).
