Population status

Common Merganser
(Mergus merganser)

Data are not sufficient to determine the national population status of the Common Merganser because survey data are combined for the three merganser species but also because an important part of the merganser breeding range—in the boreal forest—is not covered by surveys. Detailed information on the population status of waterfowl species is available in the Population Status of Migratory Game Birds in Canada report (summarized version). To obtain a copy of the full version of this report, including tables and graphs, please contact MBRegs.Reports@canada.ca.
