摘要: A restoration programme was initiated in 2008 response to high levels of seabird predation by feral cats (Felis catus) at Australia's largest fairy prion (Pachyptila turtur) colony on Tasman Island, Tasmania. The primary knockdown involved aerial baiting with para-aminopropiophenone (PAPP) meat baits. efficacy lower than expected resulting trapping and hunting commencing earlier planned. Cats were successfully eradicated over two weeks. Key the success identification a narrow window low prey availability for cats. Post-eradication monitoring most common species, prions short-tailed shearwaters (Ardenna tenuirostris), showed positive signs towards population recovery. Prion activity increased three-fold shearwater breeding increased.
