Do elevated stream temperatures affect larval Pacific Lamprey growth, behavior or physiology?

Lampreys are obligate ectotherms and directly influenced by the ambient water temperature. In lamprey species other than Pacific Lamprey, evidence exists that lethal water temperatures for larvae occur near 27.0-31.0°C (e.g., Potter and Beamish 1975; Arakawa and Yanai 2021). Although few studies...

Evaluation of Larval Pacific Lamprey Occupancy of Habitat Restoration Sites in the Portland Harbor Superfund Area

Habitat restoration actions focused on the recovery of juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha are being implemented in the Portland Harbor Superfund area of the Willamette River. These actions may also have effects on co-occurring Pacific Lamprey Entosphenus tridentatus. Use of...
