Summary

This dataset contains a combination of physiological and behavioral approaches for characterizing the response of bighead and silver carp to potentially attractive chemicals associated with sex pheromones identified in common carp. The dataset contains eight tables: 1) EOG responses from untreated and masculinized silver carp to prostaglandins, 2) mixture discrimination indices of the prostaglandins tested with the EOG, 3) relative distribution (percentage) of initial behavioral/attractiveness tests of individual PGF’s to silver carp, 4) release rates of prostaglandin mixtures from PGF2α-implanted bigheaded carps, 5) relative distribution (percentage) of masculinized silver carp to PGF2α-implanted carp odors, 6) relative distribution [...]

Purpose

Data on Asian Carps were collected to determine the olfactory responsiveness of Asian carp to chemicals associated with sex pheromones of the common carp using electrophysiological recording techniques with subsequent behavioral testing to determine attractiveness of the stimulus. These data were used in a larger project to evaluate sex pheromone attractants as a potentially effective control method for controlling Asian carp populations in the Great Lakes, and for protecting habitats of valued endemic species. Future confirmatory studies that explore pheromone function in naturally mature Silver Carp using natural odors in the field should be conducted to further confirm the proof-of-concept study.
