Summary

Data represent a comparison of herding techniques commonly used by natural resource agencies and the public to increase removal or harvest of invasive carp (i.e., Silver Carp) from U.S. waterways. Sites on lower Perche Creek, Columbia, MO (2018 August 9th to 2018 October 26th) were contained using block nets and treated with one of five herding techniques: (1) method commonly used by commercial fishers in the U.S. (“commercial technique”), (2) pulsed-DC electrofishing (“electric technique”), (3) broadband sound administered with underwater speakers (“sound technique”), (4) both sound and electric in combination (“combination technique”), and (5) solely the boat with no added stimulus (“control”). Sites were administered with repeated [...]

Purpose

Herding and concentration of Silver Carp is a key component of effective removal or harvest of these invasive fish from U.S. waterways. Several herding techniques have been developed and utilized but there is a paucity of studies to compare effectiveness among these techniques, particularly as it relates to mass removal and control. These data provided herein offer managers insight for planning large scale removal operations of these fish, as well as a starting point for future research to refine or further develop herding techniques.
