Otters have long, slim bodies and relatively short limbs with webbed paws. Most have sharp claws on their feet and all except the sea otter have long, muscular tails. They quickly move in to a new area develop deep burrows that extend into embankments, can decline of a body of water’s fish population and leave a lot of otter waste.

  • Otters can cause a lot of damage
    The presence of river otters around or in a fish hatchery or fish culture facility is a good indication that a damage problem is imminent. Otter scats or toilets that contain scales, exoskeletons, and other body parts of the species being produced is additional evidence that damage is ongoing. Often the damage involves learned feeding behavior by one or a family of otters.
