This webinar will provide an overview of research in Canada directly related to the prevention of an Asian carp invasion. Examples of current research efforts include the development of models to determine which Canadian tributaries would be suitable to Asian carp spawning, and an evaluation of whether non-physical barriers would be effective in deterring the movement of Asian carps throughout high-risk tributaries. Additionally, risk assessments are being developed to inventory all potential paths of introduction, and their relative threat level. Canadian research forms a vital component of larger collaborative efforts to prevent the establishment of Asian carps in the Great Lakes.
