Underwater structures, known as parasitics, are placed into the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal as part of the electric barriers project in October 2010. The electric barriers deter the inter-basin establishment of Asian carp and other fish through an electric field in the water. Huntsville Center helps Army Corps of Engineers facilities like Chicago District's electric fish barriers - which are already using the best technology available for their specific operation - to find alternatives for reducing energy consumption.
