Lampricide concentrations in larval sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) carcasses collected following two TFM and two TFM/Bayluscide treatments were determined to support risk assessments for non-target organisms that may consume lampricide-laden carcasses. Carcasses were removed from the treated streams either immediately after completion of the treatment or 2-days post mortem. The estimated average TFM concentration in the fresh carcasses (n = 80) collected from the rivers was 4.58 µg·g-1 (SEM =1.06 µg·g-1). The average concentration of niclosamide (the active ingredient in Bayluscide) in the fresh carcasses from the two rivers treated with TFM and Bayluscide was 0.492 µg·g-1 (SEM = 0.210 µg·g-1). The mean 2-day...
The invasive sea lamprey poses a substantial threat to fish communities in the Great Lakes. Efforts to control sea lamprey populations typically involve treating tributary streams with lampricides on a recurring cycle. Elevated densities of sea lampreys in the aquatic corridor between Lakes Huron and Erie prompted managers to propose a treatment using Bayluscide®—a granular lampricide formulation that targets larval sea lamprey that reside in sediments. However, there was concern over the potential for adverse effects of this treatment on native freshwater mussels—imperiled animals that also reside in sediments. We estimated the risk of mortality and sub-lethal effects among eight species of adult and sub-adult...

This study builds upon work conducted under the Great Lakes Fishery Commission (GLFC) Technical Assistance Program that was funded to prepare and evaluate an alternative solid formulation of the lampricide 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) in a laboratory flume. The project aligns within the lampricide theme in the Sea Lamprey Research Program by improving lampricide performance, efficacy, and safety through the development of a more environmentally compatible lampricide formulation compared to the current surfactant-based TFM bar. The study involved performing field applications of experimental TFM pellets manufactured by collaborators at Northland College (Ashland, WI). Applications were conducted on small...

Data from this study will be used to extend the current pH/ alkalinity sea lamprey MLC prediction chart used to set 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) concentrations for treating streams to control sea lamprey populations in the Great Lakes. The current chart predicts levels of TFM required to kill 99.9% of larval sea lampreys in water with alkalinities up to 260 mg/L. Some streams in lower Michigan, however, exceed the current 260 mg/L alkalinity threshold. Treatment managers have requested an extension of the chart to an alkalinity of 300 mg/L for pHs between 8.0 and 8.5. Exposures were conducted with TFM in water at pH 8.0 and 8.5 at alkalinities 260 and 300. Differences in TFM toxicity between the two alkalinities...
The objective of this study was to document the vertical avoidance behavior of the tadpole madtom, as a surrogate to the northern madtom, in response to granular Bayluscide® when applied to control or assess larval sea lamprey populations. The data set consists of one hour recordings of the avoidance behavior of tadpole madtoms after exposure to granular Bayluscide. Each trial (replicated 15 times) consisted of three treated (Bayluscide granules) and three control (washed sand only) clear Plexiglas vertical columns (107 cm in height, 30.5 cm in diameter) with a single madtom per column. Video recordings were analyzed for vertical avoidance at 30 second intervals after addition of Bayluscide granules/washed sand...

Bayluscide, the 2-aminoethanol salt of niclosamide (2′, 5-dichloro-4′-nitrosalicylanilide), is a pesticide that is used in conjunction with TFM (4-Nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol) to treat streams tributary to the Great Lakes that are infested with invasive parasitic sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus). The application TFM with 0.5 to 2.0 percent (%) Bayluscide can significantly reduce the amount of TFM required to achieve effective control. The current formulation of Bayluscide used in combination TFM during stream treatments conducted the Great Lakes Fishery Commission binational Sea Lamprey Control Program is an emulsifiable concentrate (EC). The Bayluscide EC formulation is highly effective; however, it degrades...

Controlling larval sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) in Great Lakes tributaries with of 4-Nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (TFM, a lampricide) is essential to reducing the number of spawning-phase sea lamprey, an invasive species capable of collapsing Great Lakes fisheries. An important component of treating streams with lampricide is ensuring that the proper amount of TFM is applied, effectively controlling sea lamprey populations while minimizing effects on non-target species. In this study, the Trout, Ocqueoc and Sucker Rivers, were selected to complete replicated stream-side bioassays in May, July, and September 2021 to determine seasonal changes in sensitivity to TFM. Larvae were collected and bioassays were...

Temporal and spatial distribution of niclosamide in the water column and sediment were evaluated after the application of granular Bayluscide in six lentic Sea Lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) larval assessment plots. Water and sediment were collected 0.25, 1, 3, 5, and 7 hours after application and were analyzed for niclosamide, the active ingredient in granular Bayluscide. Water samples were collected from five heights in the water column (1 cm, 13 cm, 26 cm, ½ water column, and water surface) at five locations inside and four locations 10 m outside of each assessment plot. Sediment was collected from 18 locations within each plot. Niclosamide water concentrations inside and outside of the plots did not vary by depth...

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...

The data for this project can be broken down into three sub-groups: TFM Pellet data, Temp data, and Water Quality data. Each subgroup and associated csv files are explained below: TFM Pellet data: The TFM Pellet dataset consists of 36 individual csv files with each file having a unique name making it representative of 1 trial of the study. For example “0.08 mps at 12C Trials rep 1.csv” would be the first replicate with a flow of 0.08 meters per second and a water temperature of 12°C. Each of the csv files has 16 columns of data. Target Temp: The target temperature of the trial Target Velocity: The target velocity (m/sec) of the trial Replicate #: The rep of the trial Actual Temp: The actual measured temp at the...
The data set is six separate csv files. Four of which contain the quantity of DNA copy numbers and fluor used to analyze the DNA quantities collected from water samples from four separate portions of the study (adult SL field, adult SL lab, larval SL field, larval SL lab) and need to be in their own csv file. Also included is a csv with adult SL trapping data, a csv for larval SL shocking data, and a csv with the volume that was filtered for our DNA extractions.
The lampricide formulation 3.2% Bayluscide® Granular Sea Lamprey Larvicide (gB) is applied at the water’s surface and falls through the water column to the benthic habitat of larval sea lamprey. Knowledge of how gB falls through the water column is critical to effective delivery of the time release formulation. The average sinking rate of gB was determined at a temperature of 15.0⁰C (13.8-16.0⁰C). Water depth did not have a statistically significant effect on gB sinking rate. The average sinking rate was found to be 7.01 cm/sec (0.230 ft/sec) which corresponds to a falling rate of 14.3 sec/meter (4.35 sec/ft). Average time to Bayluscide release is 218 seconds. A model was created to predict how big of a buffer region...
