Liver samples are being analyzed using a transcriptomic approach using RNA sequencing and analysis of plasma variables (following the methods of https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cbd.2019.100614). Scientists are developing continuous, long-term records of water-quality including temperature, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, chlorophyll, phycocyanin, and nitrate in the main channel and a backwater of the Illinois River to understand invasive carp response to changes in water-quality and guide ongoing control efforts. Scientists collected hydrographic data (bathymetry, three-dimensional water velocities, and some basic water-quality data) at numerous sites throughout the IWW.

Pharmaceuticals, disinfection byproducts and wastewater indicators were all highest above the leading edge of the stalled Invasive carp population front in the IWW. Scientists used the FluEgg model with a reverse-time particle tracking (RTPT) algorithm to identify probable spawning locations for Invasive carp in the IWW. Tailwater sections below the Locks and Dams (L&Ds) in each navigation pool appear to be preferred spawning locations for Silver Carp and the most upstream spawning location for the June 2015 spawning period was in the upper Marseilles navigation pool, downstream of the Dresden Island L&D. The FluEgg model was used to inform a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) assessment of the vulnerability of the Chicago Area Waterway System and Des Plaines River to Asian carp spawning and recruitment. FluEgg predicted that approximately 80 percent of silver carp eggs hypothetically spawned near the electric dispersal barrier would hatch within the Lockport and Brandon Road pools (as close as 3.6 miles downstream of the barrier) and approximately 82 percent of the silver carp eggs spawned near the Brandon Road Dam would hatch in the Des Plaines River (as close as 1.6 miles downstream from the gates of Brandon Road Lock). Furthermore, eggs spawned at the electric dispersal barrier would reach the gas bladder inflation stage primarily within the Dresden Island Pool, and those spawned at the Brandon Road Dam would reach this stage primarily within the Marseilles and Starved Rock Pools." }, { "@type": "TextObject", "text": "U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)" }, { "@type": "TextObject", "text": "Zhu, Z., Soong, D.T., Garcia, T., Behrouz, M.S., Butler, S.E., Murphy, E.A., Diana, M.J., Duncker, J.J., and Wahl, D.H., 2018, Using reverse-time egg transport analysis for predicting Asian carp spawning grounds in the Illinois River: Ecological Modelling, v. 284, pp. 53-62, (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2018.06.003)." }, { "@type": "TextObject", "text": "Publications" }, { "@type": "TextObject", "text": "University at Buffalo" }, { "@type": "TextObject", "text": "Prechtel, A.R., Coulter, A.A., Etchison, L., Jackson, P.R., and Goforth, R.R., 2017, Range estimates and habitat use of invasive Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix): evidence of sedentary and mobile individuals: Hydrobiologia, v. 805, pp. 203-218, (https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-017-3296-y)." }, { "@type": "TextObject", "text": "Illinois Department of Natural Resources (Il DNR)" }, { "@type": "TextObject", "text": "University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC)" }, { "@type": "TextObject", "text": "Contributions" }, { "@type": "TextObject", "text": "Purdue University" }, { "@type": "TextObject", "text": "In unregulated rivers such as the Wabash River (IN), scientists learned that Silver Carp tend to occupy areas that were warmer, deeper, and had lower water velocities.
