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 …

Invasive SIlver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) Protein Hydrolysates- A Potential Source of Natural Antioxidant
<p>Invasive silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), continue to spread over the Mississippi River causing a great concern for the river ecosystem due to their impact on native fish species. To minimize the negative effects of silver carp, many strategies were implemented including using it for …

16S rRNA sequence analysis of silver carp microbial community in eDNA water samples
… 150 L tanks containing set numbers of invasive Silver Carp. Analysis eDNA samples typically involves only targeting the species of interest. However, eDNA detection alone cannot undeniably confirm the presence of the species of interest and a second line of evidence would be beneficial in making …

Applying edge-core theory of intraspecific life-history variation to the control of invasive silver carp (hypophthalmichthys molitrix)
… invasive species in adapting to a novel range. Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) are an invasive cyprinid fish that were introduced to North America in the 1970s and have since spread throughout the Mississippi River Basin. During the 2000s, silver carp invaded the Illinois River and …

Leaping Behavior In Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys Molitrix): Analysis Of Burst Swimming Speeds, Angle Of Escape, Height, And Distance Of Leaps
Silver Carp have rapidly expanded their range exploiting vulnerable habitats, disrupting fisheries, and inflicting unknown ecological damage. These fish have continued to spread into the Middle Mississippi River and the Tennessee River Valley and great effort is being expended to prevent Silver …

Fish Assemblage Structure, Trophic Ecology, and Potential Effects of Invading Asian Carps in Three Missouri River Tributaries, South Dakota
… 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 known to …

Predator recognition and anti-predator behavior in juvenile Asian carp
… 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 species and learn about predation while …

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 …

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 …

Nearshore zooplankton communities of Lake Michigan and implications for invasibility by Asian carp
… the ability of invasive species, such as Asian carp, to establish self-sustaining populations. Without knowledge of spatial characteristics of zooplankton communities, it is difficult to assess the potential for Asian carp establishment. We sought to better describe spatial heterogeneity of …

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 …

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 …
