Informing tailwater removal techniques for bigheaded carp
Invasive carp management in the Tennessee and Cumberland River Basin focuses on removal, and interest exists in extending removal efforts to tailwater environments of high-head locks and dams along the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers. Aggregations of Silver Carp and Bighead Carp (collectively referred to as bigheaded carp) can spend substantial amounts of time in the tailwaters of high-head 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...
