New paper out today - some protocls for rearing wild caught larval sea lamprey in the lab.

@mikeboothlab @AmFisheriesSoc @BenthosNews What would constitute cheap? I’ve bought a lot of waders for techs from Cabelas, they typically run 80-100 for chest waders and fit a range of people. You can also buy them with stocking feet and boots separate to address the foot size/body shape issue.

Please retweet! Amazing opportunity to become Director of our research station on the bonny banks of Loch Lomond. Excellent place to work & an amazing, supportive network of staff at all levels and roles. A lovely place with great people, could it be you? https://t.co/HPdP8TATMi

Outlook for lake #trout in the northern refuge of Lake Michigan is promising, in part due to ~ 90% decline in sea #lamprey wounding rates.

High rates of passage (70-82%) for anadromous sea #lamprey using a fish lift at the lowest most dam in the Penobscot River, Maine. Delay was also relatively short (2-4 days).

Contaminants of larval Pacific #lamprey surprisingly don't correlate with sediment contamination - evidence of point source pollution?https://t.co/v1FvHYnf6I

[John B. Hume @thatlampreyguy]

@loughsagency Do adult lamprey use these bristle passes? I can’t imagine they get good suction on the uneven surface, and the bristles are too small for them to push through. Be interesting to see some data on that!

@AMillerH20bear7 Cool!

[GLFC @LampreyControl]

It's almost time for the @AmFisheriesSoc 153rd annual meeting! This year it takes place in Grand Rapids. This will be an exciting time to learn more about the different fisheries topics and connect with scientists from all over!

Sea #lamprey spawning in the River Barrow, Ireland. They look pretty beat up already; lampreys spawn just once before they die, so they’re usually exhausted by this point and can’t recover after they deposit their eggs.
