The double-crested cormorant has attained population levels in Ontario that threatens the sustainability of fisheries in both the Great Lakes and inland lakes of the province. This species eats its weight daily in fish which affects food chain continuity for large game fish. There will be significant economic benefits to a reduction of the cormorant population in Ontario. Commercial and sports fishing will be significantly benefitted by regulated control of this species. I strongly support the proposal as presented in this ERO posting.
