| 摘要： | Beginning April 5, the Minnesota De-partment of Natural Resources conducted a joint intensive carp-harvesting operation with the Wisconsin Department of Natu-ral Resources to remove invasive Asian carp from Pool 8 of the Mississippi River.Pool 8 extends from Lock and Dam 8, lo-cated near Genoa, Wis., upstream to Lock and Dam 7, located near Dresbach, Minn.The effort used the innovative Mod-ified Unified Method (MUM) that com-bines netting and herding techniques to drive and concentrate invasive carp from a large area of water into a small zone for removal. The two agencies say this is the first time the MUM method has been used in Minnesota or Wisconsin waters,and the first time it has been used any-where as an early detection and rapid re-sponse technique. Other partners include the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.The MUM exercise was designed as part of a response to the capture of 39 silver carp and 12 grass carp in Pool 8 in March 2020. To date in 2021, eight addi-tional invasive carp have been captured in or near Pool 8. The goal is to remove in-vasive carp present in Pool 8, curb the po-tential for invasive carp reproduction and prevent their establishment in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. The operation will yield more detailed information about any current invasive carp presence in Pool 8. |
