Breeding distribution and abundance of the great cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo carbo in Greenland

The Greenland population of the great cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo carbo numbers 2000–3000 pairs which breed in about 110 colonies distributed along a 1000 km long coastline in central and northern West Greenland. The number of colonies has increased and the breeding range has expanded in recent de...
