Otters vs. fishermen: Stakeholders'' perceptions of otter predation and damage compensation in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Habitat destruction and extensive hunting drove the population of Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra L.) in Central Europe nearly to extinction. Due to conservation efforts, otters are now returning to their original habitats, including fishpond areas in the Czech Republic. As their populations grow, conflicts with fishermen arise due to significant losses of commercial fish stocks caused by otter predation. Since 2000, Czech fisheries may claim compensation for otter damages under legislative Act No. 115/2000. However, negative attitudes towards otters persist and their illegal killing remains common. We conducted a questionnaire survey among fishermen (n=125) and conservationists (n=36) to investigate stakeholders' perceptions of otter predation and the damage compensation scheme in the Czech Republic. Results suggest that although otter damages on fish stocks were smaller than those caused by other piscivorous predators, fishermen perceived them as a significant hardship and demanded activ
