Fish Need to Move! Learning About Fish Migration - Pacific lamprey

I am an important food source other fish, birds, and marine animals. I am also part of the Columbia River tribal culture, and I am used in ‘first fish’ ceremonies and celebrations.  The distribution of my species has been reduced in many rivers throughout Washington, Oregon, and California.  Luckily scientists and conservation groups, including tribes and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are working hard to help rebuild lamprey

populations and restore our habitat.
