Results of the Otter survey 2017/18 in Styria
The Styrian government - A13 has contracted us to study the distribution and densities of the Otter in Styria, in co-operation with Steven Weiß (University Graz, Institute for Biology).
Fish otter presence was documented at 92% of the 656 surveyed bridges.
The calculatet densities ranged from 0.11 to 0.68 otters per river kilometer. We estimate the total population between 800 and 1500 otters.
