7.1. Grass Carp (C. idella) Grass carp had the highest percentage of moderately suitable habitat with an average of 62.3% of the accessible area (Figures 5.2.A-E). However, a majority of the remaining habitat, 34.8%, had low suitability. An average of 2.3% of the predicted grass carp habitat was highly suitable. This left only 1.3% of habitat as poorly suited, the lowest predicted average in the study. Grass carp experienced a decline in highly and moderately suitable habitat as flooded area increased while simultaneously experiencing an increase in low suitability. The percent of poorly suited habitat had a small decline, 0.1%. The grass carp model predicted occurrences better than at random with an AUC of 0.800.
