The site was identified as important in 2000 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species'):

Species	Current IUCN Red List Category	Season	Year(s)	Population estimate at site	IBA criteria met
Whooper Swan Cygnus cygnus	LC	non-breeding	1995	528 individuals	B1i, C2
Great Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo	LC	breeding	1995	2,901 breeding pairs	A4i, B1i, C3

The current IUCN Red List category may differ from that which was valid at the time of IBA criteria assessment (2000).
