 abstract: He earned his Master of Science degree in Biology at Tennessee Technological
   University, Tennessee Cooperative Fishery Research Unit studying invasive carp
   sampling techniques and population dynamics throughout Kentucky Lake and Lake
   Barkley. Josey joined the USGS in 2018 and has continued his work to answer management
   and research questions concerning invasive carp. Current research focus is developing,
   assessing, and modifying innovative capture methodologies, which include herding
   stimuli (e.g., auditory, visual, and tactual) to concentrate invasive carp for
   mass removal using large nets (e.g., pound, iruka, merwin, and beach seines).
   Catch rate and fish behavior data (characterized using sonar and telemetry technology)
   are used in these assessments with the goal of increasing capture efficiency.
