U.S. Geological Survey La Crosse, WI - UMESC - UMR (UMESCUMR)

Historically, USGS UMESC had assisted with tracking invasive carp in the UMR. Since it's inception, the program has shifted more toward the direct study of deterrents in the river system. To study the effectiveness of these deterrents, tagging events have targetted both invasive carp and several native fish species. Receiver locations have also been condensed to focus mainly on pinch points in the river system, specifically the locks and dams that might impede fish migration upstream.
