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

A nomograph for the computation of the growth of fish from scale measurements A nomograph for the computation of the growth of fish from scale measurements

Directions are given for the construction and operation of a nomograph that can be employed for the computation of the growth of fish from scale measurements regardless of the nature of the body-scale relationship, so long as that relationship is known. The essential feature of the nomograph that makes rapid calculations possible is a ruler on which the graduations are in terms of length...
