Results of Fisheries and Oceans Canada's 2016 Asian Carp early detection field surveillance program / by J. Colm, D. Marson, and B. Cudmore.: Fs97-4/3147E-PDF

"In 2016, Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s Asian Carp Program continued early detection field surveillance for Asian carps in the Canadian waters of the Great Lakes. Six crews sampled 1,209 sites from spring to fall at 34 locations in the Canadian waters of the Great Lakes and connecting channels. A crew from the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority sampled an additional 125 sites from six locations in Toronto watersheds using Asian Carp Program gear. A total of 79,875 fishes were captured, representing 99 species. A total of 2,495 Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio) and 1,157 buffalo species (Ictiobus spp.) were captured in all gear types except hoop nets and the trawl. No Asian carps were captured during the early detection surveillance work in 2016. In 2017, additional sites in eastern Lake Ontario, the Huron-Erie Corridor and Erie-Ontario connecting channels will be scouted”--Abstract, p. vii.
