Bar plots showing example sensitivity analysis for a silver carp population model for the Illinois River.
Detailed Description
Pool-specific population-level sensitivities for sigmoidal maximum harvest rate in population model (as a function of length) to silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix populations in each pool from the 2024 sensitivity analysis. The y-axis is the pool with harvest, and the columns are populations for which sensitivities are calculated. For example, the uppermost and rightmost bar is the sensitivity of the silver carp population in Dresden Island Pool to harvest in Starved Rock Pool in the last simulation year, year 40. (a) Local sensitivity analysis sensitivities. (b) Global sensitivity analysis with Morris method sensitivities. (c) Global sensitivity analysis with Sobol’ method sensitivities.

Population-level modeling of bigheaded carps in the Upper Mississippi River
Bighead carp and silver carp (collectively known as bigheaded carps) first escaped to the Mississippi River Basin in the 1970s and have since invaded the Upper Mississippi River. The species threaten the economies and ecosystems for the Upper Mississippi River. USGS scientists are developing population-level models to help guide and inform control strategies and evaluate ongoing management actions...
