Bighead Carp effects on the growth, abundance, and survival of larval Bluegill
Bighead Carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) are an invasive planktivore, native to Asia, that have established successful populations in the Mississippi and Illinois River systems after their unintentional introduction in the 1980’s. Their ability to efficiently consume zooplankton, has generated …

Competitive interactions and community influences among invasive and native fishes at different spatial scales
Bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) are invasive, filter-feeding planktivores that established in the Mississippi River Basin following their unintentional introduction in the early 1970s. Their subsequent expansion has generated much concern about their potential to compete with native …

Spatial and temporal influences on the physiological condition of invasive silver carp
Bighead (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and silver carp (H. molitrix) (hereafter, Asian carp) are invasive species that have the potential to negatively influence non-native freshwater systems. Following their introduction to the United States in the early 1970s, Asian carp have become established in …

Predator recognition and anti-predator behavior in juvenile Asian carp
… of a possible impending predatory threat. Bighead (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and silver carp (H. molitrix) widespread invasive fishes, and can be vulnerable to predation during their first year. Because they now overlap the niches of many native prey species, they may shoal with these …

In-situ tests of sound-bubble-strobe light barrier technologies to prevent the range expansions of Asian carp
Bighead (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and silver (H. molitrix) carp (collectively, Asian carp) have invaded the Mississippi River Basin and have successfully established populations in the Illinois River. Correlative studies have suggested that Asian carp in the Illinois River have negatively …

Biology and ecology of bigheaded carp in an invaded ecosystem
… may contribute to successful invasions, using bigheaded carps (<em>Hypophthalmichthys</em> spp., silver and bighead carp and their hybrids) in the Wabash River, Indiana (USA), as a case study. Trends in population characteristics appeared to vary with invasion stage. Female-skewed sex ratios, …

Fish Assemblage Structure, Trophic Ecology, and Potential Effects of Invading Asian Carps in Three Missouri River Tributaries, South Dakota
… function of these systems. Two invasive species, Bighead Carp and Silver Carp (Asian carps), are spreading in the Mississippi River Basin and more recently into the Missouri River basin and tributaries. Asian carps exhibit fast population growth, are highly fecund, are plankton consumers and are …

Use of main channel and shallow-water habitat by larval fishes in the lower Missouri River
… habitat within the lower Missouri River. Native carpsucker spp./buffalo spp. (Carpiodes spp./Ictiobus spp.) and chub spp. (Macrhybopsis spp.) catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) was higher within sandbar aquatic terrestrial transition zone (ATTZ) than main channel. Local-environmental factors accounted …

Geographic expansion and small stream use by three species of invasive Asian carp in Illinois
Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), and silver carp (H. molitrix), are three species of Asian carp that were intentionally introduced into the United States in the 1960s and 70s for use in aquaculture and fisheries management. These three species have …

Bighead and silver carp hybridization in the Mississippi River Basin: prevalence, distribution, and post-zygotic selection
… selection acting on recombinant genotypes. Bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and silver carp (H. molitrix) are U.S. federally injurious species, and although suspected to be reproductively isolated in their native range in eastern Asia, form multi-generational hybrids within the …

FISH MEAL AS A POTENTIAL END USE OF INVASIVE ASIAN CARP FROM THE ILLINOIS RIVER
Subsidized harvest of invasive silver carp Hypopthalmichthys molitrix and bighead carp H. nobilis (collectively referred to as Asian carp) from the Illinois River have been initiated in an effort to control their populations. However, market-driven control strategies have been suggested in an …

Larval Fish Assemblages of Three Eastern South Dakota Rivers
… such as the recent introduction of the invasive Bighead Carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis and Silver Carp H. molitrix, may affect the ability of native fishes to exploit favorable conditions for recolonization after major disturbances. Evaluating the reproductive success of fish in eastern South …

Influence of CO2 on fishes in flowing water environments: implications for a non-physical barrier to movement
Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (H. nobilis) are invasive species that have become established in the upper reaches of the Illinois River, and are nearing the connection into Lake Michigan. To prevent the spread of these carp, as well as other fish, carbon dioxide (CO2) …

Prey preference for Asian carp and soft plastic lure ingestion by largemouth bass
Invasive bighead (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) have become established throughout much of the Mississippi River basin. In many areas, these two species comprise a significant proportion of the fish biomass. Despite their prevalence and potential for …
