Fish Biologist I (May 2017 - Jan 2018)
I assisted with hydroacoustic surveys designed to monitor the invasion of Asian carp species in the Illinois River. Two horizontal split-beam Biosonic transducers (201 and 208 kHz) were used to collect data along fixed paths. The data was processed and fish density estimates from catch data (electrofishing surveys and gill/trammel net surveys) were used to attain carp density estimates. This data was then shared with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to inform removal efforts. Additional work was performed with passive acoustic telemetry equipment and water quality equipment and data.
