In the UK, the native European otter (Lutra lutra) and invasive American mink (Neovison vison) have experienced concurrent declines and expansions. Currently, the otter is recovering from persecution and waterway pollution, whereas the mink is in dec...

Conflict between the invasive American mink Neovison vision, and native Eurasian otter Lutra lutra has been identified in several studies, however many questions remain surrounding factors contributing to possible co-existence. Furthermore, each spec... Read More about Diet and distribution of the Eurasian otter, Lutra lutra and American mink, Neovison vison on the River Hull.
