OREANDA-NEWS The population of cormorants on Lake Baikal, Angara and Yenisei increased dramatically in 2025. Their invasion was reported by the Telegram channel Mash.
According to the source, this year the birds have been actively breeding and have invaded the above-mentioned reservoirs. On the recording made by eyewitnesses, you can see a large flock of hundreds of birds flying over the water.
One of the consequences of the increase in the cormorant population for Lake Baikal was the reduction in the number of grayling, omul and other inhabitants of the lake. It also had a negative impact on the local vegetation.
Fishermen reported that birds hunt fish above the water, do not eat them, but bite them. As a result, the injured fish remains on the surface and still does not survive.
Earlier it became known that residents of the city of Sovetskaya Gavan, Khabarovsk Territory, complained about the invasion of vipers and cottonmouths due to the heat.
