The original plan released in May 2010 was developed by S. Finney, R. Simmonds, S. Pescitelli, S. Shults, J. Mick, G. Sass, and R. Maher. This and earlier versions of the plan have benefitted from reviews by participants of the Monitoring and Response Work Group, Great Lakes state’s natural resource agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and staff from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources Division of Fisheries, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

It is intended to act as an update to previous MRPs, and present up-to- date information and plans for a host of projects dedicated to preventing Asian carp from establishing populations in the Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS) and Lake Michigan. Specifically, this document is a compilation of 26 individual project plans, each of which plays an important role in preventing the expansion of the range of Asian carp, and in furthering the understanding of Asian carp location, population dynamics, behavior, and the efficacy of control and capture methods. Each individual plan outlines anticipated actions that will take place in 2018, including project objectives, methodology, and highlights of previous work. The projects undertaken by the MRWG are designed to address three primary objectives for preventing the spread of Asian carp to Lake Michigan. These objectives are: 1) Detection: Determine the distribution and abundance of Asian carp to guide response and control actions. 2) Manage and Control: Prevent upstream passage of Asian carp towards Lake Michigan via use of barriers, mass removal, and understanding best methods for preventing passage. 3) Response: Establish comprehensive procedures for responding to changes in Asian carp population status, test these procedures through exercises, and implement if necessary. The plans included in this 2018 MRP build upon considerable work completed since 2010. Selected highlights of past efforts are presented below, grouped by primary objective. For a more detailed accounting of the results and findings of previously completed work, please refer to the 2017 Asian Carp Interim Summary Report, presented as a companion document to the 2018 MRP. HIGHLIGHTS OF PAST EFFORTS Detection Projects ▪ A total of 374,288 fish representing 73 species and six hybrid groups were sampled above the Electric Dispersal Barrier, including 2,020 Banded Killifish (state threatened species) from 2010-2017. From 2011 – 2016 no Bighead or Silver Carp were captured or observed. ▪ One Silver Carp was captured above the Electric Dispersal Barrier in the Little Calumet River in 2017. ▪ No small (< 6 inches) Asian carp were captured upstream of Peoria Pool in 2017. Three small Asian carp were caught in Peoria Pool. ▪ Observations of eggs, larvae, and juveniles in the upper Illinois River during 2015 - 2017 indicate that some reproduction occurs above Starved Rock Lock and Dam in some years, ES-1 Asian Carp Monitoring and Response Plan but the contribution of these fish to the population and the frequency of such occurrences remain uncertain. ▪ Fixed and random sampling below the Electric Dispersal Barrier has resulted in the collection of over 291,000 fish to date. No Asian carp have been captured in Brandon Road

  • Pest Risk Assessment for Asian Carps in Oregon
    Pest Risk Assessment for Asian Carps in Oregon IDENTITY Name: Asian Carps The common usage of the term “Asian Carps” encompasses the following four species of introduced carp (there are additional species of carp native to Asia that have been introduced into the U.S. but are not commonly included under term “Asian Carps” – see text). • bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) • silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) • black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) • grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) Taxonomic Position: order Cypriniformes, family Cyprinidae [carps and minnows] The family Cyprinidae is very diverse – it includes species that feed on plankton, herbivores, omnivores, piscivores (fish eaters such as our native pike minnow) and species like the black carp whose teeth are specially modified to crush the shells of mussels and snails - and as such it can be difficult to distinguish native versus nonnative species based on a few simple characteristics. Nevertheless, the collection of nonnative species such as Asian carps should be reported to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Positive identification is crucial and for this reason we recommend retaining the specimen if possible or documenting the catch with photographs. Well-focused images that show the whole fish from various angles as well as close-ups of the head and fins are ideal. Additional information on identification of Asian and other nonnative carps has been compiled by the US Geological Survey and can be accessed online <http://fisc.er.usgs.gov/Carp_ID/index.html>. RISK RATING SUMMARY Relative Risk Rating: HIGH Numerical Score: 6 (on a 1-9 scale) Uncertainty: Moderate This Risk Evaluation summarizes much of the information previously compiled by the USFWS in 2008.

  • Asian Carp Factsheet
    ASIANINVASIVE SPECIES PROFILE CARP David Riecks, UIUC/Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant sian carp are a group of fish in the minnow family that are native to Asia. The term “Asian carp” refers to Bighead carp, Silver carp, Grass carp, and Black carp. Each of these species was intentionally introduced into the United States for different purposes; however, all are now considered invasive. Invasive species are plants, animals, and Aother organisms that are not native and have the potential to cause harm. Asian carp compete with native species and pose a threat to Indiana’s aquatic ecosystems. Why Asian carp are a problem Where Asian carp • Reduce game fish populations: Because Asian carp are found in Indiana reproduce rapidly, their explosive populations reduce the Asian carp were originally imported number and health of other fish. to the southern United States to • Threaten human health: Asian carp (specifically Silver Carp) help aquaculture and wastewater often jump out of the water when disturbed by boat motors, treatment facilities keep retention causing damage to boats and potentially harming passengers. ponds clean.

Very little is known about the prevalence and effects of parasites, bacteria and viruses on the health of invasive bigheaded carp populations in the United States or the effects of bigheaded carps on the disease risk profile for sympatric, native fish of the U.S. The main objectives of this project were to conduct a systematic survey of parasites, bacteria and viruses of Asian carps and a representative number of native Indiana fish species in the upper and middle Wabash and the lower Tippecanoe Rivers, Indiana; to determine the susceptibility of Asian carps to a representative number of natural pathogens using in vitro approaches; and to involve anglers in the development of a cost effective state-wide surveillance program for documentation of viral diseases of fish.
