Summary

This dataset was used to evaluate bigheaded carp movement (net and total) between the upper and lower Illinois River and to create a multistate model in Program MARK to estimate movement probabilities among river pools.

Purpose

Data were collected for two purposes: 1) evaluate movements of bigheaded carps and 2) create a multistate model that will later be used to parameterize an Illinois River bigheaded carp population model. Overall, movements and movement probabilities from multistate models provide information on the passage of fish through different types of dams (e.g., wicket vs. tainter gate) and, in this specific case, provide information used to manage the upstream invasion of bigheaded carps in the Illinois River.
