Abstract: Invasive carp species (silver, bighead, and grass carp) have become a significant problem for native populations of fish in the United States (Kolar et al, 2005; 2007). The carps compete for food resources with native species and they reproduce and spread rapidly throughout connected watersheds. Carps congregate to spawn and the fertilized eggs float freely in the water column until they develop enough to swim. In order to predict egg dispersal and identify control solutions, sophisticated models are needed to assess the transport and dispersion of the free-floating eggs and larvae.
