Illinois River real-time telemetry and multi-state modeling
This project supports goals and objectives of the Illinois River Monitoring and Response Work Group (MRWG) by (1) providing a real-time network of acoustic receivers to detect movements and alert key management partners of invasive carp movements beyond normal ranges (i.e., above Brandon Road Lock and Dam in the Des Plaines River), (2) coordinating partner efforts to maintain a passive 69-kHz...
Invasive Carp: Multi-Basin Movement
Invasive carp (Silver, Bighead, Grass, and Black Carp) continue to expand their range in North America, necessitating efforts to limit the spread and establishment of reproducing populations. Potential control measures include the installation of deterrents and targeted removals. Several key population bottlenecks occur at locks and dams in large rivers of North America, including locations on the...
