Management of aquatic ecosystems can affect sensitive piscivores such as bald eagles, ospreys, and loons. Fisheries biologists must be aware of the needs of these species and should prepare multiple‐use management plans jointly with wildlife biologists where these avian species occur. The needs of these birds should be included in fisheries management objectives, and human disturbances should be minimized. Proper fish population manipulation and habitat management can enhance the feeding opportunities of these and other fish‐dependent birds.
