“Making the cormorant culling plan discussed in Emilia Romagna, overcoming the hesitations of environmentalists ". This is the request of the Piacenza section of Archfish Fisa. The fish guards of our territory, in fact, point the finger at these large birds, "About two thousand at the local level", which represent a "serious problem for river fauna".
“For some time - they have intervened Enzo Savoretti and Roberto Peveri, president and vice president of the association - we denounce the problem. The fish fauna of our territory is threatened by the unregulated spread of the cormorants cause enormous damage, because they hunt in groups for several kilometers, along the banks of the Piacenza waterways, and obviously not only ”.
The local representatives of Arcipesca Fisa highlight its presence, for example, "from Serafini island to Castelsangiovanni", in short «in almost the whole province, both on the Po and on the Nure, Trebbia and Aveto streams ”. Where, among other things, "there are municipal reserves for the placing of fish, which at the end of the season - remark Savoretti and Peveri - present themselves practically empty. Cormorants devour all trout. The repercussions, therefore, are also economic "(Liberta.it)
