Evaluating deterrent locations and sequence in the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers and the Tennessee–Tombigbee Waterway to minimize invasive carp occupancy and abundance

Year: 2025

Type: report

Abstract: Invasive silver carp are spreading upstream in the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers.This report details a collaborative effort among State and Federal agencies to evaluate potential sites for invasive carp deterrent projects along the Tennessee River, Cumberland River, and the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway.The findings highlight that project implementation timing could significantly impact their success, especially with increasing downstream movement rates of invasive carp.
