Aquatic Invasive Species: Invasive Carp - Ohio Department of …
There are four species of carp, native to Asia, that are invasive and dangerous to Ohio, Lake Erie, and the Great Lakes system. Two species, bighead and silver carp, pose a particularly high risk for fish life as well as boaters in Ohio.
This project provides an ongoing, coordinated approach to monitor invasive carp and fish communities in the ORB. Assembling information on distribution and habitat use of invasive carp provides an assessment tool that informs prevention, removal, and response efforts.
The Ohio River Basin Asian Carp Control Strategy Framework briefly outlines actions for prevention, monitoring and response, population control, understanding impacts, and communication to collectively prevent further expansion, reduce …
1. Target and remove Asian Carp to suppress populations and reduce propagule pressure in the Ohio River. 2. Implement a removal program using contracted fishers within an intensive management zone to reduce carp numbers below Markland Locks and Dam. 3. Develop an Ohio River contingency response plan. Project Highlights:
monitor relative abundance and determine fish community impacts of Asian carp in the Ohio River. Objectives: • Conduct targeted sampling for surveillance, early detection, distribution, and relative population densities of Asian carp at multiple life stages. • Monitor Asian carp population dynamics in the Ohio River.
Diverse and consistent removal efforts in the portion of the Ohio River where Asian carp are established may disrupt distribution of Asian carp, decrease pressure on defined barriers, and reduce numbers of Asian carp in sensitive areas to protect species of conservation need or important sportfisheries.
