Discussion Updates Research on Controlling Parasitic Sea Lampreys in the Lake Champlain Basin
Northeast Region, February 28, 2005
Print Friendly Version
On February 17, the Southern Lake Champlain Valley Office of The Nature Conservancy hosted an informal discussion of ongoing research into the non-lampricide control of sea lamprey to keep participants informed of progress during the 2004 field season while the official Alternatives Workgroup awaits a charter under the Federal Advisory Committee Act. Employees of the Lake Champlain Fish and Wildlife Resources Office involved with the assessment, control and research of sea lampreys attended.

Investigators updated the activities planned for six projects on various aspects of sea lamprey ecology and control, including the development of a life-stage based population viability model to determine the effect of various control measures on particular life stages, the potential effectiveness of a barrier and trap on the Poultney River, the cutting-edge science of pheromone applications and the use of microelemental analysis to determine natal origin of parasitic-phase sea lamprey.
