The USGS Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit offers a grant to a CESU partner for spatial analysis of invasive Black Carp riverine habitat. Black Carp threaten native mollusks in the Mississippi River basin with their crushing adaptation. This grant complements ongoing Black Carp tracking by funding a seamless bathymetric map layer for the Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois rivers. The layer will integrate metrics on proximity to engineered river structures. This spatial data will support statistical analysis of Black Carp’s ecology, aiding in understanding their habitat use and movement patterns.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research spatial analysis of mainstem riverine habitat of invasive Black Carp. Black Carp Mylopharyngodon piceus are an introduced species in North America with a rapidly expanding distribution within the Mississippi River basin. This species is anticipated to threaten native mollusk species due to a special adaptation of the pharyngeal process for crushing even thick-shelled mollusk prey. Scientists with the Columbia Environmental Research Center are actively relocating telemetry tagged Black Carp to identify habitat use and movement patterns throughout the year. To complement physical relocations of tagged Black Carp in statistical analysis of spatial ecology, bathymetric mapping of the mainstem Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois rivers is required in combination with metrics describing proximity to wing dikes and other engineered river control structures and site specific bathymetric layers. This project consists of creating a seamless layer for the range described below. |
