This department is offering a grant to assess Asian carp and native fish movement and habitat use in the upper Illinois River watershed to inform Asian carp management. The research aims to identify factors influencing the habitat use of bigheaded carps and estimate the abundance of native fishes in specific river areas. The study will utilize acoustic telemetry and fin ray microchemistry techniques to gather data for better management practices. Deadline for applications is August 23, 2018.

| Description: |
The purpose of this research is to: 1) Identify factors that influence the timing and extent of lateral habitat use by bigheaded carps in the Starved Rock Pool of the Illinois River using acoustic telemetry. 2) Estimate relative abundance of native fishes in the Des Plaines River upstream of BRLD that had previously been in the Illinois or Kankakee Rivers using fin ray microchemistry to assess frequency of native fish movement upstream through BRLD. |
