The Cooperative Ecoystem Studies Unit, Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU is offering a funding opportunity for a 2-year project to study Grass Carp spawning potential in the Sandusky River. The study aims to assess the ecological impact of non-native Grass Carp on aquatic vegetation in the Great Lakes region. The US Geological Survey is looking for a CESU partner to investigate the potential risks associated with Grass Carp establishment and population growth, with a focus on preventing ecological damage in the area. Application deadline: Apr 07, 2015.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for a 2-yr project to study Grass Carp spawning potential in the Sandusky River. Grass Carp is a non-native obligate herbivore that consumes primarily rooted and attached aquatic vegetation, but can consume algae, some terrestrial vegetation, and occasionally invertebrates. At high abundances Grass Carp can consume large percentages of aquatic vegetation, and because they have strong preferences for some species over others can alter species distributions and relative abundances. The potential for ecological damage in the Great Lakes is high if Grass Carp become established and produce large populations. |
