This significantly extends the range of the Ukrainian brook lamprey eastwards. The Ukrainian brook lamprey and the genus Eudontomyzon are the most distributed species and genus of the lampreys in europe, respectively. Key words: Eudontomyzon mariae, geographic distribution, Volga R. basin, Don R.basin, spawning substrate Introduction The surprising discovery of the Ukrainian brook lamprey Eudontomyzon mariae (Berg, 1931) in the elan’-kadada and Sura rivers in the volga River basin (L e v i n 2001) indicated that the geographical distribution of this species can be far more east than it has been initially assumed (H o l č í k & R e n a u d 1986).

One such species is the European river lamprey, Lampetra fluviatilis, which has declined due to the consequences of factors such as pollution, over- exploitation and anthropogenic barriers. The Humber River Basin contains one of Western Europe’s most important populations of L. fluviatilis but this population may be threatened by the impacts of anthropogenic barriers and commercial exploitation for angling bait. This thesis’s objectives were two-fold. Firstly, to evaluate the efficiency of a semi-formalised nature like bypass specifically designed, but previously untested, to allow upstream passage of migrating river lamprey past a weir at the tidal limit.

Read Full License Page 1/19 Abstract After the construction of the Volga Hydroelectric Station and other dams, migration routes of the Caspian lamprey were obstructed. The ecological niches vacated by this species attracted another lamprey of the genus Lampetra to the Upper Volga, which probably came from the Baltic Sea via the system of shipways developed in the 18 th and 19 th centuries. Based on collected samples and observations from sites in the Upper Volga basin, we provide diagnostic characters of adults, and information on spawning behavior. Silver coloration of Lampetra uviatilis was noted for the rst time and a new size-related subsample of “large” specimens was delimited, in addition to the previously described “dwarf”, “small” and “common” adult resident sizes categories. The three water systems: the Vyshnii Volochek, the Tikhvin and the Mariinskaya, are possible invasion pathways, based on the migration capabilities of the lampreys. Dispersal and colonization of the Caspian basin was likely a combination of upstream and downstreams migrations.

Siwicke, B.S. Fairbanks, Alaska August 2014 v Abstract Arctic Lamprey Lethenteron camtschaticum and Pacific Lamprey Entosphenus tridentatus are ecologically and culturally important anadromous, parasitic species experiencing recent population declines in the North Pacific Ocean. However, a paucity of basic information on lampreys feeding in the ocean precludes an incorporation of the adult trophic phase into our understanding of lamprey population dynamics. The goal of this research was to provide insight into the marine life-history stage of Arctic and Pacific lampreys through lamprey-host interactions in the eastern Bering Sea. An analysis of two fishery-independent surveys conducted between 2002 and 2012 in the eastern Bering Sea revealed that Arctic Lampreys were captured in epipelagic waters of the inner and middle continental shelf and were associated with Pacific Herring Clupea pallasii and juvenile salmonids Oncorhynchus spp. In contrast, Pacific Lampreys were captured in benthic waters along the continental slope associated with bottom-oriented groundfish.

  • Spawning, Larval Recruitment, and Early Life Survival of Pacific Lampreys in the South Fork Coquille River, Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Abel Forest Brumo for the degree Master of Science in Fisheries Science presented on September 22, 2006. Title: Spawning, Larval Recruitment, and Early Life Survival of Pacific Lampreys in the South Fork Coquille River, Oregon Abstract approved: _______________________________________________________________ Douglas F. Markle Recently, there has been concern over the decline of the Pacific lamprey, Lampetra tridentata, in the northwestern United States. However, effective management has been impeded by data gaps in basic biology, especially in the early life stages. Consequently, in 2004 and 2005 I examined reproductive ecology, larval recruitment, and lamprey monitoring methods in the South Fork Coquille River, a coastal Oregon stream. In Chapter 2 I monitored spawning populations at large (9.2 km) and small (focal area) scales. Relationships between adult counts at the two spatial scales and adult and redd counts at the large scale were analyzed. Weekly adult, redd, and carcass counts and tagging were also used to describe spawning and residence times, movement, size, and sex of mature adults. Large-scale adult and redd counts were highly correlated (2004, r2 = 0.867; P = 0.0069; 2005, r2 = 0.877; P = 0.0002); as were large-scale and focal area adult counts over both years combined (r2 = 0.690, P = 0.0001) and in 2004 (r2 = 0.753, P = 0.0250), but not in 2005 when densities were much lower (r2 = 0.065, P = 0.5069). Average residence time in spawning areas was less than a week for males and shorter for females, since >90% of recaptured fish were male.

Intraspecific Phylogeography of the Least Brook Lamprey (Lampetra aepyptera) (64pp.) Director of Thesis: Matthew M. White The Least brook lamprey (LBL), Lampetra aepyptera, is a nonparasitic fish species native to the eastern United States found in small streams in the Mississippi, Mobile Basin, and Atlantic slope drainage systems. The focus of this project is to identify the geographic pattern of mitochondrial DNA variation and to recognize phylogenetically distinct clades within this species. I investigated the phylogeography of the LBL by sequencing 351 base pairs of the mitochondrial ND3 gene and approximately 650 bases of the mitochondrial control region. Samples from 21 populations throughout the LBL’s distribution were sequenced. The combined ND3 and control region data sets identified 23 unique haplotypes. Ten highly differentiated clades detected correspond to drainage systems and/or geographic location. My data suggest a rapid diversification during the late Miocene and/or Pliocene, and that the LBL consists of several undescribed species.
