Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) Locations in Earthen Ponds Exposed to Three Acoustic Signals, June though August, 2018

December 17, 2024
This data set includes acoustic telemetry positions for silver carp ranging in total length from 251 to 359 mm (mean = 294 mm) and weight 131 – 427 g (mean = 231 g) tagged with 795-LD transmitters in four earthen ponds at the Columbia Environmental Research Center, Columbia, MO, USA. Positions were monitored using a 16-hydrophone array in each pond before and during a series of trials where fish were exposed to one of three acoustic signals for a length of 30 minutes. Trials occurred from June 11 to August 7, 2018. The telemetry positions were filtered to include 30 minutes before silver carp were exposed to one of three acoustic signals, and 30 minutes during signal playback. This was repeated for five trials with a new lot of fish for each trial, but Trial 4 data were excluded from the dataset due to fish health concerns.
