Illinois River real-time telemetry and multi-state modeling
This project supports goals and objectives of the Illinois River Monitoring and Response Work Group (MRWG) by (1) providing a real-time network of acoustic receivers to detect movements and alert key management partners of invasive carp movements beyond normal ranges (i.e., above Brandon Road Lock and Dam in the Des Plaines River), (2) coordinating partner efforts to maintain a passive 69-kHz acoustic receiver network and target numbers of Silver Carp and Bighead Carp in the Illinois and Des Plaines Rivers to support multi-state movement modeling to parameterize the SEICarP model or other population modeling efforts, (3) supporting quality assurance for the multi-agency telemetry data in the Riverine Acoustic Fish Telemetry (RAFT) database, and (4) developing, running, and publishing movement models for MRWG’s Telemetry Workgroup and Modeling Workgroup in support of population model development.
