Asian Carp Integrated Control and Containment Silver carp in Fox River, a tributary of the Illinois River Science Center Objects Increased threat of Asian carp entering the Great Lakes and spreading to other basins such as the Upper Mississippi River and Ohio River basins, has led to increased prevention and control efforts since 2010.  Successful management of invasive species requires methods to contain future spread, reduce population levels, and minimize their effects.  In collaboration with partners, USGS scientists have developed and continue to test containment and control tools and technologies, and investigate options for combined implementation of tools using an integrated adaptive management approach. Working in tandem with the Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Committee and other organizations, an Asian carp control toolbox is being developed to enhance the ability of agencies to manage and control Asian carp to minimize their effects and spread.
