[QUOTE="alan_rymer, post: 1724533, member: 329"] This is the full post that you are quoting from. [B][IMG]http://anglingtrust.forumotion.net/_.gif[/IMG]" [URL="http://anglingtrust.forumotion.net/what-should-be-the-priority-campaigns-of-the-angling-trust-f3/otter-predation-t66.htm#612"]Re: Otter predation[/URL][/B] [IMG]http://illiweb.com/fa/prosilver/icon_post_target.gif[/IMG] [URL="http://anglingtrust.forumotion.net/profile.forum?mode=viewprofile&u=67"]Reg Phillips[/URL] on Thu Feb 04, 2010 7:21 pm Mark, it's an almost impossible task to control without having the nature lovers on our backs, but maybe looking into breeding behaviour of the otter is the answer. How many times a year do they breed, under what conditions and locations, how far will they travel. Has any authority tried to micro-chip otters or studied the breeding populations and the habitat in which they breed? Another one to consider would be to sterilize some male/females in an area where the populations are seen to be out of control, a much better solution than a cull. How about several closed areas of countryside for the otter where they can be left alone, instead of eating freshwater fish they could be given sea fish that is normally discarded by the commercial fishermen. How about persuading Natural England, WWF and other organizations to subsidize angling clubs for the restocking of their fish consumed by the otter, or is that happening now anyway?. Just an idea........ and one made by a sea angler who cannot truely understand the magnitude of problems facing the otter/angler! " Idea's put forward by a sea angler who admits to having no knowledge of the issue! He's not an official spokesman or anything, He says he's just an individual with no idea about the issues, putting forwards some suggestions. Or it maybe a wind up?
