Senior Researcher Niels Jepsen, DTU Aqua, has achieved a PhD. in freshwater fish predator/prey interaction. Since 1995 he has used telemetry to study fish migration and behaviour. He has been working with bird predation on fish since participation in the EU 5th framework funded FRAP-project (2002-2006), where fish and cormorants was one of the case studies. He has been active in the EU river-fish conservation arena and worked at JRC in 2006-2009 to facilitate the intercalibration process for fish methods as required by the WFD. With the support from the Nordic Council of Ministers, he has established a Nordic Cormorant-fish group, involving scientists, managers and stakeholders, with the aim of a more efficient protection of fish from unsustainable predation. He has also participated in REDCAFE, AMBER and Smoltrack, to mention EU-funded projects.
