Evaluation of a BioAcoustic Fish Fence at Barkley Lock and Dam
Barkley Lock and Dam, on the Cumberland River near Grand Rivers, Kentucky, has been identified as a strategic pinch-point navigational dam for controlling invasive carps including bighead carp ( Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), silver carp ( H. molitrix), grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon Idella), and black carp ( Mylopharyngodon piceus). Fish must pass through the Barkley lock chamber to get upstream of...
Invasive Carp Control: Acoustic Deterrents
Invasive carps including bighead carp ( Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), silver carp ( H. molitrix), grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella), and black carp ( Mylopharyngodon piceus) are invasive fish species established throughout the Mississippi River Basin. The spread of these four species threatens the ecosystems of the Great Lakes and other major waterways. Substantial work has been done to...
