As the casein tempera, it is considered that some Pompeian wall. paintings were made with this particular technique, which in medieval. times translated into a glue made of lime and cheese which stands for the. modern equivalent of calcium caseinate glue.
APPLICABLE INTERNATIONAL LAW The Cormorant is protected under the 1916 Migratory Bird Treaty with Canada, indirectly under the Ramsar Convention, and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (MBTA). The cormorant receives no protection from the Convention of Migratory Species or CITES.hile the Ramsar Convention and the Migratory Bird Treaty with Canada remain possible avenues for international protection of the cormorant (see infra), it is the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (MBTA) that is the primary instrument of international law concerning the migratory birds in North America.
No consistent distinction exists between cormorants and shags. The names 'cormorant' and 'shag' were originally the common names of the two species of the family found in Great Britain, Phalacrocorax carbo (now referred to by ornithologists as the great cormorant) and P. aristotelis (the European shag).heir feet have webbing between all four toes. All species are fish-eaters, catching the prey by diving from the surface. They are excellent divers, and under water they propel themselves with their feet with help from their wings; some cormorant species have been found to dive as deep as 45 metres.
