“…Many native lampreys have recently been identified as species of concern for conservation. Moreover, continued assessment for control of non-indigenous lampreys and any future invasions is needed (Balon et al 1986;Farlinger and Beamish 1984;Christie and Goddard 2003). Therefore, the demand for information to help develop lamprey sampling protocols in all parts of the world is likely to increase in the coming years.…”

“…Much of the methodology currently in use for capture and collection of lamprey was originally developed in the 1950s during efforts to enumerate and eradicate non-indigenous sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus in the North American Great Lakes (Braem and Ebel 1961). Sea lamprey became established in the Great Lakes in the early 1900s, and their proliferation resulted in the development of methods to assess abundance and evaluate the effects of various control measures (reviewed in Christie and Goddard 2003;Slade et al 2003).…”

The need for native lamprey conservation, improved lamprey fishery management, and better assessment of non-indigenous lamprey control measures has resulted in increased effort to survey lamprey populations and assess their status. Depending on the study objectives and target species/life stage, collection methods vary dramatically. We therefore provide a comprehensive review of sampling considerations and techniques used to capture, collect, handle, and enumerate both juvenile and adult lamprey life stages. Surveys for lamprey are often constrained by the lack of basic biological information, such as reliable characters for field identification of larvae (ammocoetes), migratory timing of anadromous forms, and spawning/nest building behavior of adults. However, there are a number of studies that have documented habitat preferences of the relatively sedentary ammocoetes. Consequently, existing sampling protocols have focused on the development of stratified sampling that targets optimal ammocoete habitat. In addition to this approach, we discuss methods and gear that can be used to survey migratory life stages, lamprey nests, and difficult-to-sample, deepwater ammocoete habitats.

“…1). In the Laurentian Great Lakes, the sea lamprey evidently invaded the Great Lakes from the Atlantic Ocean (Christie and Goddard 2003;Eshenroder 2014), and were first found in Lake Ontario in 1835 (although this date has been disputed by Eshenroder 2014), Lake Erie in 1921, Lake Michigan in 1936, Lake Huron in 1937, and Lake Superior in 1938 (Applegate 1950;Lawrie 1970;Smith 1979;Smith and Tibbles 1980;Smith 1985). By the 1950s, sea lampreys were abundant in all Great Lakes, where they imposed high mortality on nearly all teleost species, but especially the lake trout Salvelinus namaycush (Hansen 1999).…”

“…Control of sea lamprey populations began in the 1950s, initially with mechanical and electrical barriers to upstream migration, and later with a selective pesticide, 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM; Smith and Tibbles 1980). Suppression of sea lamprey populations continues to rely on TFM, but was expanded to also include use of an integrated program of physical (barriers and traps) and biological (sterile-male releases) control methods (Christie and Goddard 2003), although sterile-male releases were suspended until further research could be completed to confirm its efficacy.…”

The sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus (Linnaeus) is both an invasive non-native species in the Laurentian Great Lakes of North America and an imperiled species in much of its native range in North America and Europe. To compare and contrast how understanding of population ecology is useful for control programs in the Great Lakes and restoration programs in Europe, we review current understanding of the population ecology of the sea lamprey in its native and introduced range. Some attributes of sea lamprey population ecology are particularly useful for both control programs in the Great Lakes and restoration programs in the native range. First, traps within fish ladders are beneficial for removing sea lampreys in Great Lakes streams and passing sea lampreys in the native range. Second, attractants and repellants are suitable for luring sea lampreys into traps for control in the Great Lakes and guiding sea lamprey passage for conservation in the native range. Third, assessment methods used for targeting sea lamprey control in the Great Lakes are useful for targeting habitat protection in the native range. Last, assessment methods used to quantify numbers of all life stages of sea lampreys Fish Biol Fisheries (2016) 26:509-535 DOI 10.1007 would be appropriate for measuring success of control in the Great Lakes and success of conservation in the native range.

“…Coupled with fisheries exploitation, sea lamprey drove native large-bodied fishes to low abundances (Smith andTibbles 1980, Bronte et al 2003). As a result of a highly successful lampricide treatment program and development of new control measures, sea lamprey abundance has declined by 90-95% (Christie and Goddard 2003). Small populations of sea lamprey continue to derive from the survivors of ongoing treatment programs.…”

Climate impacts on landlocked sea lamprey: Implications for host‐parasite interactions and invasive species management

et al. 2014

Abstract. Altered thermal regimes under climate change may influence host-parasite interactions and invasive species, both potentially impacting valuable ecosystem services. There is considerable interest in how parasite life cycle rates, growth, and impacts on hosts will change under altered environmental temperatures. Likewise, transformed thermal regimes may reduce natural resistance and barriers preventing establishment of invasive species or alter the range and impacts of established exotic species. The Laurentian Great Lakes are some of the most invaded ecosystems and have been profoundly shaped by exotic species. Invasion by the parasitic sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) contributed to major declines in many Great Lakes fish populations. In Lake Superior, substantial progress has been made towards controlling invasive sea lamprey and rehabilitating native fish populations. Surface water temperatures in Lake Superior have been increasing rapidly since 1980 presenting a new challenge for management. Here we test how thermal changes in Lake Superior have impacted the feeding and growth of the parasitic sea lamprey. Sea lamprey have increased in size corresponding with longer durations of thermal habitat (i.e., longer growing seasons) for their preferred hosts. To compare regional differences in sea lamprey feeding and growth rates, we used a bioenergetics model with temperature estimates from a lake-wide hydrodynamic model hindcast from 1979-2006. Spatial differences in patterns of warming across the lake result in regionally different predictions for increases in sea lamprey feeding rates and size. These predictions were matched by data from adult sea lamprey spawning in streams draining into these different thermal regions. Larger sea lampreys will be more fecund and have increased feeding rates, thus increasing mortality among host fishes. Resource management should consider these climate driven regional impacts when allocating resources to sea lamprey control efforts. Under new and evolving thermal regimes, successful management systems may need to be restructured for changing phenology, growth, and shifts in host-parasite systems towards greater impacts on host populations.
