Abstract

The fish eagles along 32 km of shoreline were counted regularly from a launch. The territory size was found to be 0.6 km of shore with a density of 3.5 eagles per km. A single aerial count along 323 km of shore returned a density of 1.9 eagles per km with a territory size of 1.0 km of shore. The distribution of fish eagles is related to the relative availability of trees as perches and probably also to the abundance of fish. The quantity of fish taken by the fish eagles is shown to be negligible compared either with the total production or with the yield harvested by man.
