OP Dear Ww: the farmers losing the three thousand bucks are not amused. The article I saw
said they were planning to try using radio controlled model boats with bright lights to
gently persuage the cormorants to go elsewhere. I predict the cormorants will light on
the boats and use them for mobile perches, and fill them with guano intil they sink.
I gotta go search to see if any more news about that.
I must say the article I just found makes more sense than the one quoted above.
It says catfish farms represent value of 714 million bucks, and birds sere taking
20 million bucks a year from the farms. So the feds OK's culling the cormorants.
And the article was dated 1998. Catf;sh farming makes very good sense to me.
So far I haven't seen any reports of environmental damage. And I enjoy the fish.
