Field Evaluation of an Improved Solid TFM Formulation for Use in Treating Small Tributary Streams, data
December 30, 2021
This study builds upon work conducted under the Great Lakes Fishery Commission (GLFC) Technical Assistance Program that was funded to prepare and evaluate an alternative solid formulation of the lampricide 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) in a laboratory flume. The project aligns within the lampricide theme in the Sea Lamprey Research Program by improving lampricide performance, efficacy, and safety through the development of a more environmentally compatible lampricide formulation compared to the current surfactant-based TFM bar. The study involved performing field applications of experimental TFM pellets manufactured by collaborators at Northland College (Ashland, WI). Applications were conducted on small feeder tributaries of the Ford River near Escanaba, MI in conjunction with a scheduled lampricide treatment. The streams selected for application were Don Creek, Chuckies Creek, and Jackstraw Creek. The results of the work are being prepared into a completion report and/or manuscript to be provided to the GLFC.
