The mitogenome of the southern Brook Lamprey,Ichthyomyzon gagei(Cyclostomata: Petromyzontidae) [PDF]
The southern brook lamprey (Ichthyomyzon gagei) is a non-parasitic lamprey endemic to the southeastern US. Here, we report the complete mitogenome of this basal vertebrate and found its genomic organization to be similar to that of other reported lamprey mitogenomes.

Demography of sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) ammocoete populations in relation to potential spawning-migration obstructions [PDF]
Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Recent advances in the understanding of lamprey migrations have led to concerns over the impacts of obstructions on the demography of many species. This study investigated sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) larvae

Prioritization of fish communities with a view to conservation and restoration on a large scale European basin, the Loire (France) [PDF]
The hierarchical organization of important sites for the conservation or the restoration of fish communities is a great challenge for managers, especially because of financial or time constraints.

Petromyzon marinus (Petromyzontidae), an unusual host for helminth parasites in western Europe [PDF]
The sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus, which is among the most phylogenetically ancient vertebrates, is a hematophagous ectoparasite that feeds on vertebrates and is considered vulnerable in Europe but is a pest in the North American Great Lakes. We conducted a literature review of helminth parasites of P. marinus and investigated postmetamorphic lampreys

Patterns of Freshwater Fish Vulnerability in European Rivers
ABSTRACT European rivers are home to more than 600 native freshwater‐dependent fish species, with nearly half of them raising some level of conservation concern. Tackling this decline requires prioritising efforts towards the most vulnerable communities, at a spatial scale aligned with river restoration.

ABSTRACT Fish migration through river networks is essential for completing life cycles and accessing critical habitats, but fragmentation increasingly disrupts spawning movements. In Europe, over one million barriers limit connectivity and create trade‐offs between ecological integrity and human uses, such as hydropower, flood control, fisheries and ...
