This project provides support for the inter-agency telemetry array deployed in the Illinois River basin. The USFWS actively tracks acoustic telemetered Silver Carp and Bighead Carp in the Peoria and Starved Rock pools, and operation and maintenance of the telemetry array in Peoria and Starved Rock pools. The data gained from the additional tagged fish will improve the accuracy of MRWG modeling work, allowing improved estimates of current levels of exploitation and bolstering estimates of large-scale pool-to-pool movement.
