The sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus (Linnaeus) is both an invasive non-native species in the Laurentian Great Lakes of North America and imperiled much its native range Europe. To compare contrast how understanding population ecology useful for control programs restoration Europe, we review current introduced range. Some attributes are particularly First, traps within fish ladders beneficial removing lampreys streams passing Second, attractants repellants suitable luring into guiding passage...

Three anadromous lamprey species support important commercial fisheries in the northern hemisphere, sea Iberian Peninsula and France, European river Baltic Sea countries Russia, Arctic Russia. Pacific lamprey, Caspian Korean pouched are harvested for subsistence local commerce on coast of North America, China Oceania, respectively. Habitat loss caused by human activities rivers have reduced populations collapsed most worldwide. Overfishing is a concern because traditional fishing gears...
Abstract A remarkable trend in the evolution of lampreys is occurrence most genera ‘paired species’, which parasitic anadromous are believed to have given rise nonparasitic freshwater resident populations. The present work examines phylogeography European paired species Lampetra fluviatilis and planeri , an attempt elucidate pair evolutionary history. We studied sequence variation cytochrome b ATPase 6, 8 mitochondrial genes 63 individuals from 21 localities throughout their distribution...
Electromyogram telemetry (EMG) was used to study the behaviour of sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus during migration through difficult passage areas. When swimming on stretches free from obstacles, EMG values lampreys showed a constant pattern activity. Conversely, when negotiating areas their were characterized by alternating between short bursts intense activity ( i.e . burst movements) and periods motionless rest which attached convenient structures means oral sucker. During blockstone weirs...
The swimming capacity of Barbus bocagei was measured with the critical speed ( U crit ) standard test in a modified Blažka‐type swim tunnel. Sixty B. were tested and they exhibited mean ± s . d 0·81 0·11 m −1 or 3·1 0·86 total lengths per second L T ). Sex had no effect on but significant differences found between performance fish distinct sizes.
Abstract In 2011, a vertical‐slot fish pass was built at the Coimbra Açude‐Ponte dam (Mondego River, Portugal), approximately 45 km upstream from river mouth. The performance of this infrastructure for sea lamprey passage evaluated between 2011 and 2015 using several complementary methodologies, namely radio telemetry [conventional electromyogram (EMG)], passive integrated transponder (PIT) electrofishing surveys. During study period, revealed 29‐fold increase in abundance larval pass. Of 20...
Lampreys worldwide face multiple anthropogenic stressors. Several species are 'at-risk' listed, yet abundance data for most remain insufficient to adequately assess conservation status. Lamprey population declines largely due habitat degradation and fragmentation, pollution, exploitation. Conservation priorities include: quantification of trends distribution; identification Evolutionarily Significant Units; improved water quality habitat; barrier removal or effective mitigation;...
Abstract Atlantic salmon is often a focal species of restoration efforts throughout the north and it therefore an excellent case study for how best to design programmes address mitigate threats correct population declines. This perspective written promote work that has been accomplished towards populations synthesize we believe lessons can be used effectively support by management agencies restore populations. We reviewed where needed salmon, agreed on definitions three levels successful...
Passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags were surgically implanted in 118 sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus ammocoetes which left to recover the laboratory for 2 months. During this period 55 individuals started metamorphose. In late summer of 2002 tagged animals released a small tributary River Mondego, Portugal, and regularly monitored months using portable PIT tag reader. The distribution changed from an initial uniform pattern random distribution, then aggregated pattern. At end first week...
The estuarine food habits of the European eel, Anguilla anguilla (L.), in upper zone Tagus estuary have been studied through analysis 210 specimens collected during 1988. Eels, measuring from 136 to 627 mm total length, fed on prey organisms ranging 2.0 76.0 length. Amphipods and shore crab, Carcinus maenas were most important items found. In more saline muddy bottom areas polychaetes, bivalves shrimp increased their importance as prey, replacing amphipods preferential food. Fish always a...
Abstract – Knowledge of fishes’ habitat requirements is an essential tool for species conservation. We examined the nine native freshwater fish using 165 undisturbed or minimally disturbed sites from eight river basins in western Iberia (northern and central Portugal). Six environmental descriptors were considered at regional level, six a local scale. Statistical associations between assemblage structure variables quantified by canonical correspondence analyses. Logistic regression was...
Abstract Many studies have assessed the effects of large dams on fishes but few examined small obstacles. Fishes were sampled and environmental variables characterized at 28 sites in two Iberian streams, 14 located immediately downstream, upstream between five obstacles river Muge Erra, considered as reference stream. Multivariate analysis indicated that habitat like current velocity depth, not physicochemistry, mainly responsible for site groups' discrimination both streams. The stream...
ABSTRACT The effects of river regulation on the hydrological cycle a and respective fish assemblage may differ according to dam operation purpose type analysed. To assess spatial temporal variation assemblages their response changes caused by two different types flow regulation, we selected three sampling sites in four rivers with levels permanent system another temporary one, which sampled annual seasons. In system, hydroelectrical decreased variability, affected fluvial specialist species,...
