“…Silver and bighead carps are prolific filter-feeders that significantly alter both the numbers of plankters and their community compositions, reducing food for sport and commercial fishes [6265]. Silver and bighead carps often swim just below the surface, and can travel in large schools (either as single species or together) [66]. In their native ranges, they mature at age 4–8 years, but as early as 2 years old in North America, with each female laying up to 5 million eggs annually [67].…”

“…Their reproductive season is longer in the Mississippi River system than in their native habitats [68]. The eggs are buoyant, hatch in one day, and the larvae readily disperse with currents [66]. Adults live to 20 years, reaching >1 m and 27.3 kg [66].…”

“…Silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and bighead carp H. nobilis (hereafter bigheaded carp) have substantially expanded their range throughout the Mississippi River basin since their unintentional introduction in the 1970s ( Kolar et al, 2005 ; Irons et al, 2009 ; Cooke, 2016 ). They are currently documented in 23 of the 31 states comprising the Mississippi River basin, including the Arkansas, Missouri, and Ohio rivers ( Baerwaldt & Irons, 2013 ).…”

“…We calculated native fish biomass as the total biomass of all native fishes collected in the lower Illinois River during a given year ( n ≈ 19 sites per year); native fishes exclude those referenced in Irons et al. (), and also hybrids of those fish referenced. We calculated separate biomass indices for age‐0 and adult native fishes using the smallest adult length reported for each species (sensu Barko, Herzog, Hrabik, & Scheibe, ).…”
