“…Most research concerning lamprey passage has originated in North America: firstly, in detailing the efficacy of large fishway facilities at hydropower dams in the lower Columbia River for threatened Pacific lamprey Lampetra tridentata (Jackson and Moser, 2012;Johnson et al, 2012;Keefer et al, 2009Keefer et al, , 2010Keefer et al, , 2011Moser et al, 2002aMoser et al, , 2002bMoser et al, , 2011, and secondly in investigating the capabilities of the sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus, an invasive species in the Great Lakes, to negotiate barriers, in order to develop preventative measures to block their upstream migration (Hanson, 1978;Hunn and Youngs, 1980;Katopodis et al, 1994). However, differences in the size, swimming capabilities and behaviour of lamprey species and migratory forms warrant care in extrapolation between species.…”

For lamprey that entered the fishways, 0.0% and 5.0% passage efficiencies were recorded for Denil (n = 1) and pool and weir (n = 1) fishways, respectively, over the entire study period. The pool and weir fishway exhibited poor attraction efficiency (42.6%) compared to the Denil fishway (91.8%), and lamprey took significantly longer to locate the pool and weir fishway, probably as a result of ineffective attraction flow.Most lamprey detected at the fishway entrances were recorded within 24 h of release and returned mostly during high flow events on up to 12 separate dates over a 150 day period. Under these conditions, these fishways were unsuitable for river lamprey.Emphasis is placed upon the increased need for a thorough consideration of the entire migratory fish community during the inception of fishway designs, and that post-construction, strategic evaluation of fishways should be actively supported and encouraged to advance the provision of effective multi-species fishways.

“…Furthermore, to be effective, fishway design must match the capability and behavior of each lamprey species (Moser et al 2011), which can vary considerably, especially depending on body size (see Sect. 5.5.3).…”

These data have been used to design, implement, and test a number of passage improvements including Lamprey Passage Structures (LPS, Moser et al 2011), and modified nighttime operations (Johnson et al 2009b. Beyond intensive RT and HD-PIT monitoring at dam fishways and intermittently at the mouths of some tributaries, little information is available on adult Pacific lamprey behavior during migration through tailraces or reservoirs.…”

Executive SummaryIn 2011, we continued our evaluation of the Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System (JSATS) for monitoring the migration and final fates of adult Pacific lampreys in Bonneville Reservoir and the Bonneville Dam tailrace, two areas with high unaccounted loss in past telemetry studies. We tagged adult Pacific lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) with Juvenile Salmon Acoustic Telemetry System (JSATS) tags and half-duplex (HD) PIT tags and monitored their upstream passage and migration behaviors. Our objectives were to calculate lamprey travel times, to estimate escapement past the monitored sites, and to evaluate JSATS detection efficiency.We tagged 85 adult Pacific lamprey collected at Bonneville Dam with both JSATS and HD-PIT transmitters from 11 June through 3 September. We used two types of JSATS transmitters: a 60 day battery life type and a 400 day battery life type. All fish were trapped and tagged at the Adult Fish Facility at Bonneville Dam and were released at either the Hamilton Island boat ramp (rkm 232) in the Bonneville Dam tailrace or the Stevenson boat ramp (rkm 242.7) in Bonneville Reservoir. We deployed 16 JSATS autonomous receivers between Bonneville and The Dalles Dam tailraces, including one in the Klickitat River 300 m from the mouth. Receivers were deployed singly or in pairs as detection gates allowing us to calculate travel times and determine distribution and final fates for multiple reaches within Bonneville Reservoir.Estimated detection efficiencies for most of our acoustic receiver gates were 85% or greater, and release site receiver efficiencies ranged from 50% in the Bonneville Dam tailrace to 97% at Stevenson.The escapement estimate for lampreys released into the Bonneville Dam tailrace past the dam was 35%, lower than estimates from previous HD-PIT studies (41-53%). The escapement estimate from release in Bonneville Reservoir past The Dalles Dam (39%) was similar to that for HD-PIT tagged adults released to the Reservoir and was slightly lower than JSATS-tagged adults from 2010 (43%).Travel rates for tagged fish were highly variable and were much higher for reservoir than dam and tailrace reaches. Reservoir-released lamprey had a median travel time of 13.6 day...
