Abstract:

The method of determination of the amount of food ingested from the cormorant stomach temperature measurements is described. Two different units were used to record stomach temperature of free-living and captive cormorants: the Einkanaliger Automatischer Temperatur Logger (EATL) and the Single Channel Unit Processor (SICUP). The weight of taken food was determined with a mean accuracy of 80%.
