Invasive carps are ecologically and economically problematic fish species in many large river basins the United States pose a threat to aquatic ecosystems throughout much of North America. Four invasive carps: black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus), grass (Ctenopharyngodon idella), silver (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) bighead nobilis), particularly concerning for native because they occupy disrupt variety food habitat niches. In response, natural resource agencies developing integrated pest...
Abstract Dams are a conservation threat because they function as barriers to native fish movement; however, may prevent the spread of invasive species. Invasive bigheaded carps ( Hypophthalmichthys spp.) threaten Great Lakes ecosystem and advancing towards Lake Michigan via Illinois River. Navigation dams on River deter carps' upstream movement. We investigated permeability Starved Rock Lock Dam (SRLD), most downstream gated dam, migration by examining timing individuals approaching passing...
Silver (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead (H. nobilis) carp (collectively bigheaded carp) are invasive fish that threaten aquatic ecosystems in the upper Midwest United States Laurentian Great Lakes. Controlling is a priority of fisheries managers one area focus involves developing acoustic deterrents to prevent upstream migration. For an deterrent be effective however, hearing ability must characterized. A previous study showed detected sound up 3 kHz but this range narrower than...
ABSTRACT Objective Invasive carps continue to spread across the Mississippi River basin, posing significant ecological risk. Identifying technologies slow their dispersal is critical. The use of sound has been proposed as a method modify behavior Silver Carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, offering nonstructural deterrent strategy. Methods implanted with acoustic transmitters were released into earthen ponds equipped telemetry arrays. fish exposed 30-min playback three underwater sounds (chirp...
Abstract Invasive species management can benefit from predictive models that incorporate spatially explicit demographics and dispersal to guide resource allocation decisions. We used invasive bigheaded carps ( Hypophthalmichthys spp.) in the Illinois River, USA as a case study create model evaluate of future efforts. Specifically, we compared additional harvest (e.g. near invasion front vs. source populations) enhanced movement deterrents meet goal reducing abundance at front. found lower...

Abstract Knowledge of how invasive species use invaded habitats can aid in developing management practices to exclude them. Swan Lake, a 1100‐ha Illinois River (USA) backwater, was rehabilitated restore ecosystem functions, but may provide valuable habitat for bigheaded carps [bighead carp ( Hypophthalmichthys nobilis ) and silver H . molitrix )]. Use (residency passages) Lake by monitored using acoustic telemetry n = 50 individuals/species) evaluate the large, restored from 2004 2005....
Abstract Introgressive hybridisation between two invasive species has the potential to contribute their invasion success and provide genetic resiliency rapidly adapt new environments. Additionally, differences in behaviour of hybrids may lead deleterious ecosystem effects that compound any negative impacts invading parental species. Invasive silver carp ( Hypophthalmichthys molitrix ) bighead nobilis an opportunity evaluate how influence behaviour, dispersal, spread introgressive complex. In...
Bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), silver (H. molitrix) (hereafter: bigheaded carps), and common (Cyprinus carpio) are invasive fish causing negative impacts throughout their North American range. To control movements, non-physical barriers being developed. Broadband sound (0.06 to 10 kHz) has shown potential as an acoustic deterrent for carps, but the response of broadband not been evaluated. Since ostariophysians, possessing Weberian ossicles similar it is possible that can be used...
Abstract Invasive Bighead Carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis and Silver H. molitrix have infested caused largescale ecological economic damage to the Illinois, Mississippi, Ohio rivers. We compiled demographic data from 42,995 fish 23 pools in rivers, which universities management agencies previously collected as part of management, monitoring, research activities. used this set test whether rates (length–weight relations including body condition, mortality, growth curves, female maturity...
Abstract Despite significant efforts devoted to understanding the underlying complexity and emergence of collective movement in animal groups, role different external settings on this type remains largely unexplored. Here, by combining time series analysis complex network tools, we present an extensive investigation effects shady environments behavior a fish species (Silver Carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix ) within earthen ponds. We find that shade encourages residence during daylight hours,...
Abstract Fish movements in regulated rivers can be challenging to study because anthropogenic modifications, such as locks and dams, influence animal behavior. Upper Mississippi River Lock Dam 19 (LD 19), for example, is an invasive carp movement bottleneck due impassable dam. Upstream fish passage at LD19 restricted the lock chamber, making it optimal location test deterrents that could limit further range expansion. Evaluating effectiveness of experimental requires baseline knowledge...

Abstract Technology advancements in fisheries science can provide useful tools to support natural resource management and conservation. However, new technologies may also present challenges for decision makers due the lack of a standardized process assess consideration within plans. Future technology development fishery water resources could benefit from framework that assigns an appropriate stage defines readiness implementation. Readiness Levels (TRL) are one established research scale...
Understanding the movement patterns of an invasive species can be a powerful tool in designing effective management and control strategies. Here, we used Bayesian multistate model to investigate two carp species, silver (
