The underlying reason for declining fish populations should be addressed rather than creating an aggressive hunting season for one of the fish's predators. Humans are daily affecting the quality of water within this ecosystem and are responsible for the decline in numbers of fish.

Associate professor of biology at the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus, Jason Weir, says the daily limits of the hunt are too high, and that the cull could affect other bird populations such as Common terns and great blue herons.

In addition, the cormorant population has plateaued in the past few years, and has not been expanding out of control.

I hope that this hunting season will be reconsidered. We should acknowledge our responsibility to reviving ecosystems instead of being irritated by the presence of animals in our altered ecosystems.
