Lower Mississippi River Main Channel Trawling 4K

Fisheries biologists at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, Mississippi conducted one of the first and most extensive fish sampling projects recently in the main channel of the Lower Mississippi River, using a 36-foot shrimp trawler. The boat allowed them to sample some of the deepest sections of the river near Natchez, Mississippi. The data collected will allow them to develop habitat models to assess the impacts of river engineering activities as well as benefits of ecosystem restoration. This video was produced as part of partnership between ERDC and the Lower Mississippi River Conservation Committee.

Scientists at the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, Mississippi, are using sonic telemetry to track the movement of endangered Pallid Sturgeon in the Mississippi River to determine how many sturgeon are "entrained" through the Old River Control Complex, which controls the flow of water between the Mississippi and the Atchafalaya-Red rivers system. Once sturgeon pass ...

The North American Paddlefish, now thought to be the only species of its kind after the presumed extinction of the Chinese Paddlefish, is a living fossil with complex and fascinating anatomical features. ERDC scientists are studying the strong, web-like structure of its rostrum, for example, in hopes of replicating it for use as material to protect military buildings, vehicles and soldiers from...

Black Carp were imported to control snails and parasites carried by snails in U.S. fish farms. Some carp escaped, and now the species is reproducing in the Mississippi River and its tributaries. Jack Killgore, fisheries biologist with the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center in Vicksburg, Mississippi, discusses the threat Black Carp pose to native freshwater mussels, many of which...
