For each captured fish we documented capture location, water temperature; we measured total length and total weight. Length data was used to assess the removal efforts in Lake Erie. A subset of Lake Erie captures (n=121), and Missouri captures (n=153) were histologically sampled to determine age-at-maturity, fecundity type, developmental timing, and spawning strategies. Gonadosomatic index (GSI) was analyzed to determine if it is a valid proxy for maturity.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P13FA9VE", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.66c48e4ad34e03388288c51c.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_66c48e4ad34e03388288c51c", "keyword": ["Bayesian theory", "Cuyahoga River", "Lake Erie", "Lamine River", "Maumee River", "Mississippi River", "Missouri River", "Sandusky River", "USGS:66c48e4ad34e03388288c51c", "adaptive management", "biota", "environmental proxies", "fish", "fisheries management", "gonadosomatic index", "histology", "invasive species", "modeling", "population and community ecology", "regression analysis"], "modified": "2025-03-14T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-91.9600, 38.5840, -78.7420, 43.0720", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Grass carp capture and life history traits in the Lake Erie watershed, 2017-2023, and in the Mississippi, Missouri, and Lamine Rivers within the state of Missouri, 2022"}
