A Most Dangerous Fish! | VOA Connect

The Sea Lamprey is an invasive parasitic fish that is threatening the native fish species of the Great Lakes. We visit the Hammond Bay Biological Station in Northern Michigan to learn more about the lamprey and ways researchers are trying to mitigate the significant danger it poses to the region.

It's a great delicacy in Finland, the price is exorbitant. The only problem is, the lamprey season is very short, so you can't make money on it around the year, but when you do, you really are raking in money. If you catch one, add some salt and smoke it.

[@uhplumber5962]

I missed the reasoning as to why you don't kill all of the Lamprey male and female. Seems like the logical route to take to me since they are an invasive species. What am I missing? Are they endangered?

[@fermiticus4034]

Just speculation here, as I have zero knowledge of lamprey spawning habits.... If they spawn, one on one and the males compete, the bigger/stronger sterile males could "win", which would result in the female dropping her eggs, and they'd go unfertilized...and/or the male that "loses"(not sterile), doesn't get to spawn at all. (That's the only way I can make sense of it, anyway)

[@ProGuitar555]

I believe they said that its hard to find all spawning habitats so they just let the sterile male kill the others.

[@bensdemosongs]

(Edit- see answers below, I was confused by the video too)

Jeremy wade says other about sea lamprey attacking people. He has interviewed people attacked while swimming in the Great lakes. All this money invested in studies and marking them. Start a mobile fish processing plant and start catching them and shipping them overseas for food. Generate some revenue for the people living in the areas around the Great lakes instead of taxing them more for these studies.

[@roddymac998]

Good idea but the places that mostly eat them France, Portugal are surrounded by them too. That's the problem their so Invasive. 80 thousand eggs in one fish. That's insane

[@nicgb098]

I've lived in Wisconsin my whole life and have never heard of anybody being attacked by a lamprey. Frankly I'm fine with what they are doing with my taxes, and have no interest in subsidizing or supporting such fisheries. If the market had demand for such things, that's fine, but it doesnt really exist and there is no reason to waste time, money and effort when there is no demand. The fine men and women who work on the lakes and protect the lakes against many invasive species do amazing work in keeping our lakes safe and serviceable for us. They deserve all the credit in the world. That's my opinion.
