Evaluating Asian carp colonization potential and impact in the Great Lakes

Major Goals and Objectives

  • Develop a predictive model of Asian carp consumption and growth in the Great Lakes using a bioenergetics approach
  • Test model predictions with growth and consumption experiments in mesocosms
  • Predict where in the Great Lakes Asian carp are likely to survive by feeding on plankton
  • Provide initial estimates of the potential impact of Asian carp on Great Lake plankton communities
