Summary

The BioAcoustic Fish Fence (BAFF; Fish Guidance Systems Ltd.) is a multi-modal deterrent that utilizes a combination of lights, sound, and bubbles to guide fish away from a location. An experimental deployment of a BAFF is currently ongoing at Barkley Lock and Dam on the Cumberland River near Grand Rivers, KY. This dataset includes information derived from two telemetry arrays (i.e., VEMCO and HTI) deployed in the vicinity of Barkley Lock and Dam to evaluate fish movement and response to the BAFF. Silver carp, grass carp, and native fish species were detected with this system. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.

Purpose

The data were collected to test an experimental deterrent designed to restrict movements of invasive carp. The data were collected by deploying many acoustic telemetry receivers, catching and tagging native and invasive fish with acoustic telemetry tags, and tracking their movements. The data uses fine scale positioning as well as more coarse positioning. The fine scale positioning is used to get accurate positions and movements of the fishes across the deterrent, while the more coarse positions are used to describe when the fishes make full upstream movements through the lock chamber. This information can be used evaluate the effectiveness of the deterrent at this site and to assist managers in designing future deterrent technologies to restrict invasive carp movement while minimizing impacts on native fish migrations.
