  2. Problems with pelican population • Killing of individuals due to illegal hunting • Trading of young birds • Destruction of nests and continuous disturbance of the nesting colony • Destruction of hydrological regime and degradation of habitats for feeding and reproduction • Competing with fishermen and inhabitants of the area for food (fish, etc.) BALWOIS CONFERENCE, MAY 2010. Kallfa, A. Bino, T.

  3. Methodology • Yearly site visits mid-April to mid-June • Counting of eggs • Collection and inspection of “vomit” samples of small individuals • Collection of data on annual fish catch by the fishermen (cooperative) on eel (Anguilla anguilla), mullet (Mugil spp.), gobius (Gobius bucchichi), garfish (Belone belone), sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and crab (Carcinus aestuari). • Collection on data on preferred measurements as follows: BALWOIS CONFERENCE, MAY 2010.

  6. Discussion and recommendations • overexploitation of fish resources causes a decrease in fish population, despite the difference in preference for dimensions between pelicans and the fishermen • maintenance of communication between the lagoon and the sea is a priority and may be achieved through the continuous dredging of the three main channels connecting the Karavasta lagoon to the sea.
