CAMPhyRE was awarded a grant to work with the Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC) of the US Army Corps of Engineers on mitigating invasive fish species. The project focuses on deterring fish from entering certain regions of the upper Mississippi River through the use of a controlled sound source. By playing certain types of sound in the water, ERDC plans to deter the invasive fish without the installation of physical barriers (i.e. fences) in the river. This allows the river to remain open to travel for non-invasive fish species and for ships. CAMPhyRE will be responsible for developing computational tools to be able to predict the acoustic signature of the river, and will study how the sound travels in the river. This is important to predict how the sound will be perceived when it reaches the fish, and whether it will be successful in deterring the fish. More details are given in the following article published on the Virginia Tech website.
