March 10, 2026

The Fish and Wildlife Service currently uses nets and electrofishing as part of their early detection and monitoring program in the Upper Illinois River for bigheaded carps. This dataset contains the sampling data and sampling attributes (such as water parameters for electrofishing or net length for gills). The sampling data is the binary presence/absence observations. This is that data for 2022-2024.
