     "text": "Grass, bighead, black, and silver carps spawn in turbulent rivers and their eggs develop and hatch while drifting downriver.  The larvae also have a short period of developing in the drift, and then they must swim from the river and find appropriate low- or no-flow nursery areas. Rivers which are not long enough, turbulent enough, or without nursery areas in the correct locations are not likely to support survival of these fishes.  If we can cause these problematic fishes to spawn in locations that will not support survival, or if we can locate spawning and nursery areas to harvest fish or prevent their survival, these would be useful control methods. CERC scientists are studying the behavior of larvae and eggs of these fishes in a flume, to generate data to enhance drift models for early life history stages. These models aid in assessing the suitability of a river for spawning and survival of young, for determining the locations where captured eggs and larvae were spawned, for determining the portion of the river where the larvae are most likely to attempt to laterally disperse from the spawning river, and where larvae might be susceptible to control methods."

     "text": "The Issue: The early life stages (eggs, larvae, and juveniles) represent a critical period in the lives of fish, one characterized by high mortality rates.  Survival of these stages commonly determines year-class strength and overall population size.  These life stages are not captured using standard fishing gear meant for adults, thus there is a lack of knowledge about survival rates, habitat requirements, and recruitment and dispersal potentials. Understanding the factors during early development is needed for risk analysis of establishment, prediction of transport distances and available nursery habitats, determination of spawning location, and allows development of controls which reduce early life stage survival and year-class strength."
