Upper Mississippi River longitudinal and lateral movements
Dams on large rivers have profoundly affected patterns of fish movement and have disrupted natural flow regimes. In the upper Mississippi River, a series of 29 lock and dam structures control water levels and flow to facilitate commercial barge traffic and control flooding. Dams vary in the degree to which they regulate flow, with some dams commonly entering open-river conditions while a few dams...
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...
