QC Pike River Lamprey Efforts
Posted: Sun Apr 14, 2019 9:35 am
This is the follow-up article to the exchanges under the cormorant subject, but for lamprey eel control on the Pike River in Quebec.
I have provided a summarized translation of the attached article.
A mechanical structure was designed and built back in 2014 on the Pike River to capture lamprey eels.
Since its installation in 2014, 592 lamprey eels have been caught, and as of the the attached article written in June 2018, they had already caught 40.
The lamprey eels are then given to the University of Montreal where they are studied for further understanding and potential control methods. It is step in the right direction.
As governments tend to be slowed down by bureaucracy and in today's world populism, I would suggest the opportunity is establishing communication between the institutions that are studying the lamprey eels.
