Review of otter status along the River Dee and its tributaries

Otters are found throughout the River Dee catchment from the mouth of the River Dee to many of the high-altitude lochs in the Grampian mountains. Key habitats include small streams, mires and marshes, for both foraging and breeding. Otters can move over long stretches of the River Dee and its tributaries.水獭广泛分布于迪河（River Dee）流域，其分布范围从迪河入海口延伸至格兰扁山脉（Grampian Mountains）内的多处高海拔湖泊。该物种的关键栖息生境包括小型溪流、泥炭沼泽与湿地，可同时作为觅食与繁殖场所。水獭能够在迪河及其支流的漫长河段间进行长距离移动。
