An infographic highlighting a study finding that black carp, which are an invasive fish species in North America, are now known to be established in the wild in parts of the Mississippi River basin. The infographic was created by the USGS. The USGS was one of the study’s co-authors and the research was led by Southern Illinois University.
Patrick Kroboth
Patrick is a Research Fish Biologist at the Columbia Environmental Research Center.
Patrick has been a fish biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey Columbia Environmental Research Center since 2017 with research emphasis on invasive fish species, specifically Black Carp, Bighead Carp, Grass Carp, and Silver Carp. This research includes development of methods to improve capture, early detection, and control, and study of habitat use and movement. His prior experience ranges across lotic and lentic aquatic ecosystems studying recreational and commercial fisheries, invasive species, and threatened and endangered species.

Development of a Ploidy Distinction Application: A Machine Learning Approach for Discriminating Triploid and Diploid Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) in the Field
USGS scientists are researching a machine learning approach that can enable fisheries personnel in the field to determine the ploidy of wild-caught invasive carp.
Laboratory Investigations with Fish Species to Assist with Implementing Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program’s Ecological Management Action Plans
WARC scientists will obtain live fish specimens from the field to conduct and enhance on-going laboratory research on harmful algal blooms and the use of piscicides to control invasive fish.
Black Carp Biology, Assessment, and Control
Black Carp ( Mylopharyngodon piceus ) is the largest of the four non-indigenous carp species, reaching sizes well in excess of 100 pounds. CERC scientists, in cooperation with federal and state partners, are studying the biology, ecology, and behavior of black carp and developing tools to monitor, assess, and control this non-indigenous species.

Black Carp Observations in the Mississippi River Basin
A map of black carp observations in the Mississippi River basin reported to the USGS Nonindigenous Aquatic Species database as of November 30, 2022. This map is not a complete representation of species abundance or distribution. These data include incidental captures by the public and reports from federal and state agencies.
