We defined muskrat trapping efficiency as the number of muskrats captured per trap night on the float sets.
Three of the incidental captures (two painted turtles and a black-crowned night heron) occurred during the open muskrat trapping season (25 October - 30 April), while the other four captures (two blue-winged teal and two black-crowned night herons) came after the closing date of the season (Table 2).
These results are consistent with past research that have found that muskrat trapping and the equipment used (e.g.
Gashwiler (1949) reported capture of one duck for every 14.7 muskrats captured, and estimated a total of 1945 mortalities and another 2220 injuries to ducks during the 1946 spring muskrat trapping season in Maine.
