“…Moreover, the lake trout is the preferred host of sea lampreys in the Great Lakes (Christie and Kolenosky 1980;Johnson and Anderson 1980;Bence et al 2003;Morse et al 2003;Harvey et al 2008), although ciscoes (Coregonus spp.) are preferred by small (\15 g) sea lampreys (Johnson and Anderson 1980;Harvey et al 2008).…”

The sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus (Linnaeus) is both an invasive non-native species in the Laurentian Great Lakes of North America and an imperiled species in much of its native range in North America and Europe. To compare and contrast how understanding of population ecology is useful for control programs in the Great Lakes and restoration programs in Europe, we review current understanding of the population ecology of the sea lamprey in its native and introduced range. Some attributes of sea lamprey population ecology are particularly useful for both control programs in the Great Lakes and restoration programs in the native range. First, traps within fish ladders are beneficial for removing sea lampreys in Great Lakes streams and passing sea lampreys in the native range. Second, attractants and repellants are suitable for luring sea lampreys into traps for control in the Great Lakes and guiding sea lamprey passage for conservation in the native range. Third, assessment methods used for targeting sea lamprey control in the Great Lakes are useful for targeting habitat protection in the native range. Last, assessment methods used to quantify numbers of all life stages of sea lampreys Fish Biol Fisheries (2016) 26:509-535 DOI 10.1007 would be appropriate for measuring success of control in the Great Lakes and success of conservation in the native range.

“…Increased survival of lake whitefish in the Great Lakes has been attributed to reduced sea lamprey predation Reckahn, 1995), but sea lamprey still attack lake whitefish (Morse et al, 2003) and presumably contribute to their natural mortality. No studies have specifically estimated sea lamprey predation of lake whitefish in the Great Lakes since primarily because researchers have been focused on understanding sea lamprey and lake trout interactions .…”

“…Lake Huron. The first full round of stream treatments during the late 1960s suppressed sea lamprey populations to levels less than 10% of those before control (Figure 8) (Morse et al, 2003). During the early 1980s, abundance increased in Lake Huron, particularly the northern portion of the Lake, peaking in 1993.…”

Since 1972, the Parties (United States and Canada, 1987) to the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement have been working collaboratively to achieve the purpose of the Agreement "to restore and maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the waters of the Great Lakes Basin Ecosystem". Billions of dollars and countless person - hours have been expended towards this end, but have the Parties, and their numerous collaborators at the state, provincial, and municipal levels, along with industry and citizen activists achieved meaningful results? This paper will examine the information provided through various monitoring programs and will assess the success of the Parties' programs, and will also discuss the continuing threats to achieving the purpose of the Agreement.
