Comment
As the manager of the Port Elgin fish hatchery, myself and a group of dedicated volunteers work very hard to raise up to 100,000 salmon fry each year. We continually to be disheartened when we see our newly released stock, that we have worked for many months to raise are devoured by a the cormorants.
Having the ability to legally cull these birds especially while we are releasing stock would be something of great interest to us, so that our efforts result in more fish surviving and having a chance to make it to maturity.
