Summary

Controlling larval sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) in Great Lakes tributaries with 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (TFM, a pesticide) stream treatments reduces the number of spawning-phase sea lamprey, an invasive species capable of collapsing Great Lakes fisheries. An important component of stream treatments is ensuring that the proper amount of TFM is applied that will effectively control sea lamprey populations and minimize the effects on non-target species. In this study, replicated streamside bioassays were conducted in May, July, and September at six sea lamprey infested rivers in Michigan to determine potential seasonal changes in sensitivity of lamprey to TFM. Larvae (≥ 60 mm) were collected with backpack electrofishing [...]

Purpose

Data was collected as part of requirements to fulfill the following objectives 1) Determine how efficacy of TFM to sea lamprey larvae in 6 selected streams varies over a treatment season. 2) Assess stream water chemistry and sea lamprey larvae condition in the selected streams over a treatment season. 3) Quantify the relationship between stream water chemistry, sea lamprey larvae condition and TFM toxicity. 4) Use objective 3 data to recommend a correction factor to address seasonal changes in TFM efficacy.
