Invasive Carp Control: Acoustic Deterrents
Invasive carp including bighead carp ( Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), silver carp ( H. molitrix), grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella), and black carp ( Mylopharyngodon piceus) are invasive fish species established in the Mississippi and Ohio River basins. The spread of these species threatens the Laurentian Great Lakes and other major waterways. Significant work has been done to identify potential...
Deployment and Evaluation of an Underwater Acoustic Deterrent System at Lock and Dam 19
Previous studies and experience have demonstrated that some locks and dams operate as bottlenecks or pinch points for invasive carp populations and range expansion because of unique hydraulic conditions and operations at these dams. As compared to dams without these unique conditions, pinch-point dams restrict upstream fish passage to the lock chamber and result in limited (but not zero) upstream...
