Sažetak
After the historical decline in the 1960s, the Great Cormorant breeding population in Croatia started to recover during late 1970s. By the mid- 1980s new colonies were established on major fishponds and in large alluvial floodplains along the Sava and Drava rivers. Since colonies on fishponds were quickly destroyed, the breeding population was forced to move into the alluvial wetlands that were inaccessible to fisherman. The population increased exponentially and reached its peak in the late 1980s with over 3, 000 breeding pairs. Since then it has fluctuated between 1, 500 and 2, 500 pairs. Large floodplains along Danube and Sava rivers which still remain are key sites for the Croatian breeding population.
