Book Description
Abstract: Historically, river otters (Lontra canadensis) were abundant in aquatic systems throughout the country. By the 1830's, river otter numbers had been drastically reduced due to unregulated trapping and habitat destruction. By 1977, otters had been reduced to 75% of their historical range and completely eradicated from several states, including Ohio. Improved conditions in potential otter habitat, along with concern over the severe decline of this species led many states to develop plans to restore otter populations. From 1986-1993, Ohio implemented its own reintroduction plan in which 123 river otters were released at four locations in Eastern Ohio. Since 1993, the Ohio Division of Wildlife has used various methods to monitor the otter population and has documented otter presence in 67 of Ohio's 88 counties. This perceived abundance of river otters led management authorities to implement a harvest as a way of controlling population growth and mitigating conflicts. However, more information on Ohio's river otter population is needed not only to ensure the continued success of the reintroduction program, but also because river otters are listed as an Appendix II species by CITES.
