In a survey of Spain during June 1981, signs of otters were found at seventy (40%) of the 176 stations investigated. Otters were mainly concentrated in the mountainous north and north‐west and in the plains and mountains of the south‐west. Water pollution appears to be an important limiting factor in some areas.
