Why we’re worried

  • Large bodied (>100 lbs)

– Bighead: 5 feet, 90 pounds – Silver: 3 feet, 60 pounds

  • Eating machines

– Up to 20% of body weight/day – Planktivores

Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Committee

– Planktivores – Eat same food as natives

  • Reproduce, develop quickly

– 1 female = 1­ 500 million eggs – Grow to ~10” in year 1

  • Tend to jump when startled

down for maintenance

  • 400+ respondents, 30+ agencies

and organizations

Asian Carp Control Strategy Framework

  • Goal: Prevent establishment of self

populations in the Great Lakes

– Integrate and unify future actions of participating agencies, develop collaborative approach – Transition to multi­tiered defense (beyond barriers)

Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Committee

  • Dynamic document based on growing body of knowledge

gained from research and monitoring

  • Strategy: “…move quickly on proven solutions, and

consider, develop, and test potential solutions and employ those that are most sound.”

  • Structural operation variations
  • Emergency engineering measures
  • Expedited biological control

assessments

  • Enhanced electric barrier operations

EVALUATION OF RISK

Must we seek to eliminate all Asian carp above the barrier? If not, how few provide an acceptable risk?

Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Committee

If so, are there effective and more targeted control options besides broad rotenone applications?

The Future: Ecological Separation?

  • Ecological separation means…

– NO interbasin transfer of aquatic organisms – PREVENT the movement; 100% effectiveness

  • Ecological separation does not necessarily mean…

Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Committee

  • Ecological separation does not necessarily mean…

– Stopping shipping or recreational traffic – Lock closure – More frequent or more severe floods

  • Ecological separation might entail . . .

– New infrastructure

  • E.g.: Lift lock for recreational vessels, similar to the Big

Chute Marine Railway on the Trent Severn Waterway, Ontario

– Chemical/heat barriers

The Future: Ecological Separation?

Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Committee

– Chemical/heat barriers – Altered traffic flows (commercial and recreational navigation) – Changes to hydrology – Different management of stormwater and wastewater – Improved transportation infrastructure – Enhanced infrastructure for tourism – Ecological restoration of waterways
