- United States Fish and Wildlife Service
Invasive Bighead and Silver Carp have been known to hybridize in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. This research will use genomic analysis of tissue samples to infer prevalence of hybrids in the Upper Mississippi River basin, their natal origins, and the potential effects on condition.
