Summary:Occurrence of cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) in Slovakia and European countries is described. The paper gives information on development of cormorant numbers and their nest population over the century in the Slovak territory. The goal of the work is to attract attention of biologists to this species, legislative protection and subsequent population expansion. Since adoption of strict protective precautions in 1979, cormorant numbers have increased in western and central Europe from 50,000 to 680,000. The increase in the last decenium created conflict with economic interests of the fishing economy. According to a current prognosis, it is possible that in 2000 the European population of cormorants will reach more than 2 million. The possibilities of qualified re-evaluation of inadequate legislative protection of cormorants in Europe are discussed
