“…Releases of farm-reared partridges can bring the introduction of new diseases and parasites (Villanúa et al 2008;Millán 2009;Díaz-Sánchez et al 2012) or genetic introgression due the release of hybrids between red-legged and chukar partridges (Blanco-aguiar et al 2008;Barbanera et al 2010;Casas et al 2012). Our study also indicates that it can also lead to overhunting of wild stocks, which can further contribute to the decline of partridge populations, especially in low-density populations (Blanco-Aguiar 2007).…”

“…Además de sus efectos en las poblaciones nativas de las especies en cuestión (v.g. Casas et al 2012, Díaz-Sánchez et al 2012, las sueltas pueden tener efectos negativos en la fauna no cinegética, ya que pueden favorecer la introducción de parásitos nuevos en el medio, que podrían afectar negativamente a otras especies presentes en los mismos ecosistemas (v.g. Villanúa et al 2007).…”

“…facilitating anthropogenic hybridizations, spreading parasites and diseases in the wild or reducing productivity of wild populations, therefore contributing to depress the viability of wild populations (e.g. Villanúa et al 2007;Blanco-Aguiar et al 2008;Díaz-Fernández et al 2012;Díaz-Sánchez et al 2012). In this paper, we use official detailed quantitative data on farm-reared redlegged partridge releases in a province of central Spain (Ciudad Real), one of the most important partridge hunting areas in Spain (Ríos-Saldaña 2010; Díaz-Fernández 2012), to assess temporal and spatial trends between 2006 and 2012 in the use of this management practice.…”

A quantitative assessment of the release of farm-reared red-legged partridges (Alectoris rufa) for shooting in central Spain

The release of farm-reared game is considered a conflictive management tool because of its potential harmful ecological effects on wildlife and associated habitats. Estimates of the number of animals released and the area where this game management takes place could give an idea of the magnitude of their potential impacts. We aimed to quantitatively assess the release of farm-reared red-legged partridges (Alectoris rufa) in the province of Ciudad Real, central Spain, one of the main hunting areas in this country. We analysed the official permits that the regional government granted to the hunting estates to release farm-reared partridges between 2006 and 2012. Our results show that an average of 800,000 partridges were released annually in the study area. A decrease in the number of hunting estates that used this game management practice, as well as in the number of red-legged partridges officially released, was observed during the last years within the study period. This might be a consequence of the current economic crisis, rather than a change in management styles. Release intensity was spatially heterogeneous, being higher in the southeast of the study area, where historically red-legged partridge was more abundant. Most of the red-legged partridges released came from only four farms placed in northern Spain. Our results suggest that this management activity should be better monitored and that spatial regulations should also be considered.
