Lamprey, Hagfish
Agnatha - Lamprey, Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Super Class: Agnatha Hagfish Agnatha are jawless fish. Lampreys and hagfish are in this class. Members of the agnatha class are probably the earliest vertebrates. Scientists have found fossils of agnathan species from the late Cambrian Period that occurred 500 million years ago. Members of this class of fish don't have paired fins or a stomach. Adults and larvae have a notochord. A notochord is a flexible rod-like cord of cells that provides the main support for the body of an organism during its embryonic stage. A notochord is found in all chordates. Most agnathans have a skeleton made of cartilage and seven or more paired gill pockets. They have a light sensitive pineal eye. A pineal eye is a third eye in front of the pineal gland. Fertilization of eggs takes place outside the body. The lamprey looks like an eel, but it has a jawless sucking mouth that it attaches to a fish. It is a parasite and sucks tissue and fluids out of the fish it is attached to. The lamprey's mouth has a ring of cartilage that supports it and rows of horny teeth that it uses to latch on to a fish. Lampreys are found in temperate rivers and coastal seas and can range in size from 5 to 40 inches. Lampreys begin their lives as freshwater larvae. In the larval stage, lamprey usually are found on muddy river and lake bottoms where they filter feed on microorganisms. The larval stage can last as long as seven years! At the end of the larval state, the lamprey changes into an eel- like creature that swims and usually attaches itself to a fish.

Bill Beamish's Contributions to Lamprey Research and Recent Advances in the Field
Guelph Ichthyology Reviews, vol. 7 (2006) 1 Bill Beamish’s Contributions to Lamprey Research and Recent Advances in the Field This paper is based on an oral presentation given at a symposium honouring Bill Beamish and his contributions to fisheries science at the Canadian Conference for Fisheries Research, in Windsor, Ontario on January 7, 2005 Margaret F. Docker Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research, University of Windsor, Windsor, ON, N9B 3P4, Canada Current Address: Department of Zoology, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB, R3T 2N2, Canada (e-mail: [email protected]) Key Words: review, sex determination, statoliths, pheromones, reproductive endocrinology, phylogeny Guelph Ichthyology Reviews, vol. 7 (2006) 2 Synopsis Since his first lamprey paper in 1972, Bill Beamish has published more than 50 papers on numerous aspects of lamprey biology, reporting on several native lamprey species as well as the Great Lakes sea lamprey. Bill and his colleagues have contributed to our knowledge of the basic biology of larval lampreys (e.g., abundance, habitat, feeding, growth, and gonadogenesis), helped refine techniques to determine age in larvae (using statoliths, structures analogous to the teleost otolith), and studied the process of metamorphosis and the feeding and bioenergetics of juvenile (parasitic) lampreys. Current research continues to build on Bill’s contributions, and also makes many advances in novel directions. This exciting current research includes: the use of high-resolution ultrasound to study gonadogenesis and evaluate sex ratio in live larval lampreys; the elucidation of some of the exogenous and endogenous triggers of metamorphosis; examination of the neuroendocrine control of reproduction and the role of unconventional sex steroids in lampreys; the discovery of migratory and sex pheromones and their potential use in sea lamprey control; the use of molecular markers to study lamprey mating systems and phylogeny; and the renewed interest in the conservation of native lampreys.

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.

Sea Lamprey US ARMY CORPS of ENGINEERS Building Strong®
sea lamprey US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS Building Strong® Common Name sea lamprey Genus & Species Petromyzon marinus Family Petromyzontidae (lampreys) Order Petromyzontiformes (lampreys) Class Agnatha (jawless fishes) Diagnosis: The sea lamprey is cartilaginous with an elongated body reaching lengths from 64cm in landlocked habitats and up to 120cm with access to the ocean. Lampreys are jawless and characterized by a round mouth and esophagus encircled with rows of curved teeth. P. marinus is further identified by the presence of two dorsal fins and seven gill openings as well as the absence of paired fins. The body is grey in color with a mottled pattern dorsally. Ecology: The sea lamprey has an anadromous life cycle; being born in nursery habitats of freshwater streams and rivers and make their way back to the saltwater environment of the sea in adulthood. Females may lay up to 100,000 eggs into a pre-dug bed in the gravel as males fertilization occurs externally. Ammocoete larvae hatch toothless and blind and will take up to 4 years to reach maturity and migrating to the open waters of an ocean or lake. Larvae will feed upon detritus and microscopic aquatic organisms. Adults feed parasitically on healthy, large bodied fish by rasping a hole with their curved teeth exteriorly then extracting bodily fluids. Habitat & Distribution: The native range of the sea lamprey extends from the North American Atlantic coastline from Labrador to the Gulf of Mexico to the eastern coastline of northern Africa. Although they have been introduced to the Great Lakes via the Welland Canal into Lake Erie, sea lampreys are native to Lake Ontario with access from the St.

Little Manistee River Sea Lamprey Barrier and Trap Manistee, Michigan
2018 Little Manistee River Sea Lamprey Barrier and Trap, Manistee County, Michigan Draft Feasibility Report and Environmental Assessment Section 506 Great Lakes Fishery & Ecosystem Restoration and Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Detroit District US Army Corps of Engineers May 2018 PRELIMINARY FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Little Manistee River Sea Lamprey Barrier and Trap Manistee, Michigan The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District (USACE), has prepared a Draft Feasibility Report and Environmental Assessment (FR/EA), dated May 2018, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, and an evaluation of the effects of placing fill in the waters of the United States in accordance with Section 404(b)(1) of the Clean Water Act of 1977. The USACE assessed the potential environmental effects of the reconstruction of the spillway weir at the Little Manistee River egg collection facility managed by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) (Alternative 3 of the Feasibility Report FR/EA). The proposed action (Alternative 3) is to construct a permanent attractant water trap (AWT) sea lamprey trap in one bay of the existing MDNR fish weir, raise the walkway for access and lamprey removal, remove the existing concrete spillway, construct a steel sheet pile (SSP) weir with stop logs across the entire existing spillway apron to provide a drop barrier, install a fish guidance weir downstream of the spillway to direct fish to the collection facility, replace the existing canoe portage pathway located within the existing spillway, and provide scour and erosion protection. The study is authorized by Section 506 of the Water Resources Development Act of 2000, as amended by Section 5011 of WRDA 2007.
