The USGS is offering a cooperative agreement grant to a CESU partner for research on assessing the efficacy of an oblique bubble screen system as a two-way dispersal barrier for invasive carp in rivers. The study aims to redirect and capture invasive carp eggs and larvae while deterring adult carp upstream. Although the focus is on grass carp, the grant is interested in effective barriers for all invasive carp species. The grant aims to build upon previous work and address the active reproduction of grass carp in the Great Lakes Basin. Deadline: May 19, 2021.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to assess the efficacy of an oblique bubble screen system as a two-way dispersal barrier for invasive carp in rivers. An effective two-way dispersal barrier must be able to redirect and capture invasive carp eggs and larvae drifting downstream while simultaneously preventing or deterring the upstream passage of motivated adult carp. While the USGS is interested in a two-way barrier that is effective for all four species of invasive carp—bighead (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) silver (H. molitrix), grass (Ctenopharyngodon idella), and black (Mylopharyngodon piceus) carp—the focus of laboratory experiments to evaluate two-way barrier efficacy should focus on grass carp to build upon previous work (Prada et al. 2018, 2020). Grass carp are currently the only invasive carp species actively reproducing in the Great Lakes Basin. |
