TextPublication details: 1980.Description: vii, 66 p. : ill. ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: Drainage and human encroachment of natural waterfowl breeding grounds have created a serious problem in the maintenance of waterfowl populations. Continued loss of remaining marshes and wetland areas has emphasized the necessity for intensively managing and developing water areas for waterfowl use (Shroeder 1973). An important part in the understanding of intensive wetland management is the assessment of food availability and utilization (Shroeder 1973). Numerous studies have indicated the importance of aquatic macroinvertebrates to egg-laying hens and ducklings (see Swanson and Meyer 1973). These studies suggest that macroinvertebrate abundance may influence wetland use by waterfowl.Whitman (1976) states that proper wetland management practices that enhance aquatic macroinvertebrate abundance will undoubtedly increase waterfowl production.
