Summary

Using high-resolution sonar technologies with geographic information systems (GIS) and object based image analysis, benthic habitats of the Illinois River will be interpreted to support Asian carp research, monitoring and control. The entire study plan will consist of data collection and analysis of the Brandon, Dresden, Starved Rock, Marseilles, Peoria, La Grange and Alton reaches of the Illinois River. Reaches with larger aquatic areas (Peoria, La Grange and Alton), will have priority areas and backwaters collected and analyzed first.

Purpose

Remote sensing technologies, such as high-resolution sonars, can be used to collect detailed information about the benthic and water column characteristics of microhabitats in the Illinois River. Using a combination of multibeam sonar and side/down scan imaging, the objective is to describe microhabitat features of benthic and pelagic habitats of the Illinois River that are preferentially used by Asian carp.
