These mustelids have several names in southern China--crab-eating mongoose, rice field dog, viviparid-eating dog, loach-eating dog, and white face weasel--mainly because of their omnivorous behavior and external appearance.
At this time, the impact of piscivorous birds is almost absent, and the loss caused by mustelids may be significantly decreased using special protection fences (Hallikainen, 2001).
Badgers and pine martens, both mustelids, don't make easy neighbours - badgers will kill the martens if they get close enough, but the pine martens are usually too nimble to be cornered.
