This dataset accompanies the article "Off-channel habitat use by silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (H. nobilis) in the upper Mississippi River". Acoustic telemetry data (Innovasea, Inc.) were collected on invasive silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) in Pools 17-19 of the upper Mississippi River to examine timing and environmental conditions associated with off-channel habitat use during 2017–2018. Data also include surface water velocity, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and dam discharge from Lock and Dam 19.
