The data consists of survival, length and weight of grass carp and black carp gavaged with an oral dose of antimycin A in two carriers, corn oil and ethanol.
These datasets describe channel adjustments over a 60-year period to dams in the Missouri National Recreational River (MNRR), South Dakota and Nebraska. Datasets include a channel geometry analysis from cross-sections, banklines digitized and interpreted to predict future bank erosion sites from aerial photography, and models of floodplain inundation over a range of discharges. There are two MNRR segments, a 39-mile segment downstream from Fort Randall Dam, and a 59-mile segment downstream from Gavins Point Dam. Similar datasets were analyzed for each MNRR segment using similar methods.
This project includes field data and data supporting models of the Missouri River at Sheepnose (SN) bend, near Lexington, Missouri. Field datasets include a topobathymetric digital elevation model (DEM) for a 10-km reach of the Missouri River, repeat surveys of channel bathymetry from 2019-2021, water surface elevation profiles, velocity data collected with acoustic Dopper current profiler (ADCP). Channel topography was generated from data collected by USGS staff from the Columbia Environmental Research Center during multibeam sonar surveys of the channel bed using a multibeam echosounder and high-resolution Global Navigation Satellite Systems for positioning. Field data was used to generate and validate both 2-dimensional...
The dataset contains a hybrid bathymetric-topographic digital elevation model (DEM) of the Upper Missouri River near Wolf Point, MT. The DEM was generated within ArcGIS by compositing bathymetric data from multiple single beam sonar surveys collected between June 2018 and July 2019 with previously existing topographic data collected from airborne LiDAR into a triangulated irregular network (TIN). The resulting TIN was then manually edited and exported as a raster for use in developing a hydrodynamic model.
This project summarizes broad, two-dimensional spatial availability of fish habitat across the Lower Missouri River (from its confluence with the Big Sioux River near Sioux City, Iowa downstream to its confluence with the Mississippi River near St. Louis, Missouri). One of the main objectives of the project was to delineate and categorize dike fields, which we define as areas directly downstream from man-made, earthen dike structures. Dike fields represent potential refuge habitats from the fast-flowing navigation channel maintained for boat traffic along the river thalweg. Dike fields were drawn within the boundaries of the main channel of the Missouri River given bankfull conditions and with reference to existing...
Bioassessment research in the River Studies Branch focuses development of methods to determine biological site quality for streams, rivers,and wetlands, and to improve association of bioassessment metrics with watershed stressors such as water quality and habitat alteration. Improved approaches to bioassessment will allow for improved management of aquatic resources to meet human needs and public demand for ecosystem services.
Black carp Mylopharyngodon piceus and grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella are morphologically similar species imported from eastern Asia to North America as biological control organisms. Preferred identification methods are coloration and pharyngeal tooth form. Grass carp possess serrated teeth and black carp molariform teeth. Examination of pharyngeal teeth causes extensive damage to a specimen, and is labor and time intensive. Coloration can vary within a species and fades with preservation. We present a suite of external characteristics consisting of a truss network canonical variate analysis of distance measurements among landmarks on the lateral view of the head of each fish, the ratio of head length to mouth...
Lack of reproduction has been hypothesized to be a factor in the decline of the pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus) through much of its range. Spawning habitat and behavior have only recently been documented on the Lower Missouri River, which comprises over 1,300 river kilometers of undammed river. This data consists of habitat measurements for ten pallid sturgeon spawning events from 2008-2013 that occurred in discrete reaches dispersed over hundreds of kilometers on the Lower Missouri River.
We measured ontogenetic changes in routine and maximum swimming speeds of bighead, grass, and silver carp larvae. Daily measurements of routine swimming speed were taken for two weeks post-hatch using a still camera and the LARVEL program, a custom image-analysis software. Larval swimming speed was calculated using larval locations in subsequent image frames and time between images. Using an endurance chamber, we determined the maximum swimming speed of larvae (post gas bladder inflation) for four to eight weeks post-hatch.

This dataset includes the downstream water-surface slope and Manning's roughness (Manning's n) calibration equations for the Lazy Day (LD) reach on the Big Piney River near St. Robert, Missouri, based on discharge and water surface elevation data collected between November 19, 2020 and August 25, 2021. Calibration was performed to produce optimal values of downstream water-surface slope and Manning's n for a one-dimensional hydraulic model of the LD reach.
This dataset includes 4 sets of velocity measurements and water-surface elevation measurements collected at the Wallens Bend (WB) reach on the Clinch River near Kyles Ford, Tennessee between April 14, 2021 and September 8, 2021. Velocity data were collected by USGS staff from the Columbia Environmental Research Center at different locations in the study reach using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and Real Time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite Systems (RTK GNSS) positioning. Data were used to evaluate the calibration performance of a one-dimensional hydraulic model of the WB reach. Velocity data are provided as mean velocity at distances along a stream centerline that corresponds to the one-dimensional...

This dataset includes the one-dimensional HEC-RAS model calibration files and simulation input and output files for the Wallens Bend (WB) reach on the Clinch River near Kyles Ford, Tennessee. Simulation results were used as input for environmental DNA transport models.
This dataset contains two subsets of animations corresponding to particle tracking simulations of the Upper Missouri River near Wolf Point, MT comparing larval transport through the upper and lower sub-reaches of the larger model reach. Animations do not contain audio and depict particles moving from the top of the reach (left side) to the bottom of the reach (right side). A total of 96 animations are included corresponding to a combination of 1 of both reaches (upper or lower), 1 of 16 discharges (185-635 cms, at increments of 30 cms), and 1 of 3 vertical movement methods (active60pct, active75pct, or passive).
This dataset contains breakthrough curves calculated from particle tracking simulations of a July 1, 2019, larval drift experiment conducted on the Upper Missouri River near Wolf Point, MT. Breakthrough curves were generated using a custom script written in the Python programming language that counts the number of particles per time step passing through sampling locations. Breakthrough curves were generated for particles using passive, active75pct, and active60pct vertical movement methods at the first two sampling stations downstream of the release location.
This dataset contains a series of processed acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) measurements collected by boat on the Upper Missouri River near Wolf Point, Montana between 2018 and 2019. The data presented here have been processed with the Velocity Mapping Toolbox (VMT) and combined into a single shapefile using ArcGIS. The dataset was collected to validate a multidimensional hydrodynamic model.
Grass carp, bighead carp, and silver carp spawn in flowing water. Their eggs,and then larvae, develop while drifting. Hydraulic conditions control spawning locations, egg survival, and the downstream distance traveled before the hatched larvae can swim for low velocity nursery habitats. Existing egg drift models simulate the fluvial transport of carp eggs but have limitations in capturing the effect of localized turbulence on egg transport due to inadequate dimensions of hydrodynamics and/or empirical parameterization of river dispersion. We present a three-dimensional Lagrangian particle tracking model that uses fully resolved river hydrodynamics and a continuous random walk algorithm driven by local turbulent...
Data regarding tag retention and survival associated with implanting acoustic tags into small bighead carp (range 128-152 mm total length) at three separate temperatures (13°C, 18°C, and 23°C), and changes in weight or critical swimming speed.
This child data release includes in situ measurements of turbidity and Rhodamine WT dye concentration acquired during an experiment performed at the USGS Columbia Environmental Research Center, near Columbia, Missouri, on April 2, 2019. The purpose of the experiment was to assess the feasibility of inferring concentrations of a visible dye (Rhodamine WT) tracer from various types of remotely sensed data in water with varying levels of turbidity. Whereas previous research on remote sensing of tracer dye concentrations has focused on clear-flowing streams, the Missouri River is much more turbid and the reflectance signal associated with the sediment-laden water could obscure that related to the presence and amount...
Within large-river ecosystems, floodplains serve a variety of important ecological functions. A recent survey of 80 managers of floodplain conservation lands along the Upper and Middle Mississippi and Lower Missouri Rivers in the central United States found that the most critical information needed to improve floodplain management centered on metrics for characterizing depth, extent, frequency, duration, and timing of inundation. These metrics can be delivered to managers efficiently through cloud-based interactive maps. To calculate these metrics, we interpolated an existing one-dimensional HEC-RAS hydraulic model for the Middle Mississippi River, which simulated water surface elevations at cross sections spaced...
