Black Carp in North America: a description of range, habitats, date, and methods of reported captures May 2018-October 2022
Black Carp collections (n=534) by commercial fishers, biologists, and recreational anglers from the Mississippi River basin recorded from 2018 to 2022 are reported here. Geographic coordinates, total length (TL), weight, girth, date of capture, sex, and gear were recorded. Total length was measured from the tip of the snout to the longest caudal fin ray with the caudal fin lobes pinched. Girth was measured as the circumference of the fish anterior of the dorsal fin, representing wedge capture in passive gears. When provided by fishers, the gear dimensions such as the diameter, mesh, and bait used for hoop nets, and mesh size of gill nets were recorded.
