This data set contains auditory evoked potentials for four species of invasive carp; silver carp, black carp, grass carp, bighead carp, as well as goldfish (100-150 millimeters in total length) and behavioral thresholds on goldfish in a tank (dimensions 240 centimeters X 100 centimeters; depth of 25 centimeters) at the Columbia Environmental Research Center, Columbia, MO USA. Ambient...
Active relocations and tagging data for Black Carp Mylopharyngodon piceus; 2019-2023 Active relocations and tagging data for Black Carp Mylopharyngodon piceus; 2019-2023
This dataset represents active relocations of acoustic and radio telemetry tagged Black Carp among the Mississippi and Missouri rivers near their confluence. These river segments consist of both open river and impounded habitat present during observed hydrologic conditions from 2019-2023. Relocations were primarily on a monthly interval with initial weekly relocations during the first...
Local and Global Geodatabases Used in South Carolina StreamStats 2024 Local and Global Geodatabases Used in South Carolina StreamStats 2024
In cooperation with the South Carolina Department of Transportation, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) updated the foundational geospatial layers for the South Carolina StreamStats web application (https://www.usgs.gov/streamstats), which provides analytical tools useful for water-resources planning and management (Kolb and others, 2018).
