The USGS real-time fish telemetry network is operated in collaboration with partner agencies including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the States of Illinois, Ohio, and Michigan.
The primary function of this network is to monitor the movement of invasive carp in priority rivers. When invasive carp are detected at one of our receivers, subscribers at partner agencies are sent automated alerts allowing for initiation of rapid response actions if necessary. Subscribers can also opt to receive daily or weekly detection summaries for all known species detected by our real-time receivers (bundled by river system). Telemetry data are contributed to the USGS Riverine Acoustic Fish Telemetry Network (RAFT) database.
This network is supported by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and the USGS Biological Threats and Invasive Species Program.
