I tagged 180 bigmouth buffalo Ictiobus cyprinellus with VEMCO acoustic transmitters in pools 15–19 in the UMR to determine spatial movements, determine the residency and presence of bigmouth buffalo below two pinch-point dams, and summarize dam passages of bigmouth buffalo. Fine-scale arrays were placed in the locks to distinguish the route of fish passage and to calculate residency and presence in the downstream approach. I observed 12 (3 upstream, 9 downstream) bigmouth buffalo passages throughout 2020-2021. GLMMs were used to evaluate the relation between residency duration and environmental factors and lock operations. The best model at LD 14 indicated that bigmouth buffalo residency duration decreased as the number of upstream-bound commercial tows and recreational vessels increased. At LD 15 the most informative model indicated that an increase in the number of downstream-bound commercial tows was related to a decrease in bigmouth buffalo residency duration. Bigmouth buffalo minimum home ranges ranged from 0.14-114.06 km with an average of 16.27 km/year.
