   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.
