Seasonal abundance, size, and host selection of western river (Lampetra ayresii) and Pacific (Entosphenus tridentatus) lampreys in the Columbia River estuary

Abstract: Abstract-Little is known about the basic biology and ecology of most native lampreys, including the use of estuaries by anadromous lampreys.

“…Similarly, Pacific Lampreys and Western River Lampreys were observed feeding on a variety of hosts in the Columbia River estuary (Weitkamp et al. ). Similar predation events on juvenile salmon can be expected to occur in the western Alaska river deltas due to the close proximity of Arctic Lampreys to the estuaries of the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers, and sampling of these habitats could find concentrations of lampreys not identified by this study.…”

“…For example, Arctic Lampreys in the western Bering Sea were estimated to consume 75% of Pink Salmon and Chum Salmon smolts in the Amur River estuary (Novomodnyy and Belyaev 2002), and Western River Lampreys fed on Pacific Herring and Pacific salmon smolts in the nearshore Fraser River plume (Beamish and Neville 1995). Similarly, Pacific Lampreys and Western River Lampreys were observed feeding on a variety of hosts in the Columbia River estuary (Weitkamp et al 2015). Similar predation events on juvenile salmon can be expected to occur in the western Alaska river deltas due to the close proximity of Arctic Lampreys to the estuaries of the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers, and sampling of these habitats could find concentrations of lampreys not identified by this study.…”

“…Western river lamprey can be common in estuaries (Vladykov and Follett 1958;Weitkamp et al 2015), but records from upstream of Bonneville Dam are scarce (Vladykov and Follett 1958;Jolley et al 2016). Western brook lamprey are not highly migratory (Moser et al 2015a) and there may be multiple highly localized riverine populations in the Columbia River Basin that may not use tributary river mouths (USFWS unpublished data).…”

“…Ammocoetes eventually metamorphose into macrophthalmia and migrate downstream to the Pacific Ocean. Ammocoetes are known to occur in shallow-stream sediments, but their use of comparatively large river habitats in relatively deeper areas is poorly understood (Jolley et al 2012;Weitkamp et al 2015). Adult Pacific Lamprey migrate in the late spring and early summer in the Columbia River.…”
