The effect of putrescine on space use and activity in sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Fish use odor to avoid exposure to predation and disease. Harnessing these odors as repellents is proving useful for management initiatives that conserve native species or control invasive populations.

Development of PCR Blocking Primers Enabling DNA Metabarcoding Analysis of Dietary Composition in Hematophagous Sea Lamprey [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionConventional dietary assessments are challenging in hematophagous species, particularly in sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus). However, recent technological developments and molecular approaches have provided an attractive alternative through the use of ...

Evaluation of health benefits of sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) isolates using in vitro antiinflammatory and antioxidant assays. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), a parasitic fish which survives on blood of other fishes, is consumed as a delicacy in many countries. Our earlier studies on sea lamprey compounds that showed potential to deter adult sea lampreys yielded several ...

Achieving Sea Lamprey Control in Lake Champlain [PDF]
Fishes, 2021 The control of parasitic sea lamprey in Lake Champlain has been a necessary component of its fishery restoration and recovery goals for 30 years. While adopting the approach of the larger and established sea lamprey control program of the Laurentian ...

Pedigree analysis and estimates of effective breeding size characterize sea lamprey reproductive biology [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2022 The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is an invasive species in the Great Lakes and the focus of a large control and assessment program. Current assessment methods provide information on the census size of spawning adult sea lamprey in a small number of ...

Protocol for monitoring and analyzing pheromone-mediated behavioral response of sea lamprey in a natural system [PDF]
STAR ProtocolsSummary: Olfactory-mediated behaviors in fish are often examined in artificial microcosms that enable well-controlled treatments but fail to replicate environmental and social contexts. However, observing these behaviors in nature poses challenges. Here,

Tissue and salinity specific Na+/Cl− cotransporter (NCC) orthologues involved in the adaptive osmoregulation of sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Two orthologues of the gene encoding the Na+-Cl− cotransporter (NCC), termed ncca and nccb, were found in the sea lamprey genome. No gene encoding the Na+-K+-2Cl− cotransporter 2 (nkcc2) was identified. In a phylogenetic comparison among other vertebrate

Expression of Urocortin 3 mRNA in the Central Nervous System of the Sea Lamprey Petromyzon marinus [PDF]
Biology, 2021 In this study, we analyzed the organization of urocortin 3 (Ucn3)-expressing neuronal populations in the brain of the adult sea lamprey by means of in situ hybridization.

A decade-long study demonstrates that a population of invasive sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) can be controlled by introducing sterilized males [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe release of sterilized insects to control pest populations has been used successfully during the past 6 decades, but application of the method in vertebrates has largely been overlooked or met with failure.
