Comparing live capture methods for nutria (Myocastor coypus): single versus multicatch traps
August 26, 2019
Data from a nutria trap type comparison study. Single catch traps were compared to muliticatch traps at the same study sites at the same time. The study site was Sauvie Island, Oregon. The data include trap location, location ownership, location cover, and number and size of animals caught in the different trap types. Study was conducted March through April 2011.

Comparing live-capture methods for nutria: single- versus multiple-capture cage traps
Herbivory and burrowing by nutria (Myocastor coypus) cause substantial ecological
and economic damage. Trapping is a common, effective practice for reducing nutria damage;
however, trapping approaches must continually be adapted to keep pace with evolving animal
welfare and ethical issues and to more effectively target pest species of interest. Our objective
was to evaluate the efficacy of 2 nonle
