A method of marking larval lampreys A method of marking larval lampreys

Biological investigations of lamprey populations in central New York have indicated a need for developing a method of marking larvae of the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus Linnaeus, and the American brook lamprey, Lampetra lamottei (Lesueur) Since lamprey larvae live in burrows in the soft sediments of the stream bottom, the use of an external tag is impractical.

Diseases and parasites of the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, in the Lake Huron basin Diseases and parasites of the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, in the Lake Huron basin

Sea lampreys from the Lake Huron basin carried no external parasites and showed a fairly low degree of infection by internal parasites. The material examined represented three life-history stages of the sea lamprey. Recently transformed downstream migrants (215 specimens) harbored only nematodes belonging to the genus Camallanus. The percentage of infection was 2.3. Active feeders from...

Downstream movement of recently transformed sea lampreys, Petromyzon marinus, in Carp Lake River, Michigan Downstream movement of recently transformed sea lampreys, Petromyzon marinus, in Carp Lake River, Michigan

In order to obtain more precise information concerning the downstream movement of recently transformed sea lampreys, a trapping device was operated in the Carp Lake River, Emmet County, Michigan, from October, 1948, to July, 1951. The period of downstream migration typically extends from the latter part of October to the middle of April. It varies, however, from year to year with...

An aquarium experiment on the American eel as a predator on larval lampreys An aquarium experiment on the American eel as a predator on larval lampreys

The parasitic sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, has in recent years spread throughout Lakes Huron and Michigan and is now firmly established in these waters (Applegate, 1949, Mich. Cons., 18 (4): 13-15). Coincident with their spread, the abundance of lake trout, Salvelinus namaycush, has declined in both lakes (Hile, 1949, Trans. Amer. Fish. Soc., 76 (1946): 121-147) and the lake trout as
