The selective lampricide, 3-trif1uoromethy1-4-nitrophenol (TFM), is used to control the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) in the Great Lakes (12, 13). Recent studies have shown that in rats TFM is primarily biotransformed to reduced TFM (14). The major metabolite (Figure 1) found in rainbow trout (Salmo gaivdnevi), however, was the glucuronide conjugate of TFM (IS, 16).

Migrating male sea lampreys, Petromyzon marinus, are attracted to water from conspecific larvae (Teeter, 1980). This Jawless fish originates in the Atlantic Ocean but has invaded the Great Lakes, where it parasitizes fish populations,... 

Traditionally, French fishermen have used the male sex attractant of the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus. They bait a trap with an adult male and catch numerous females at night. Land-locked sea lamprey such as those in the Great Lakes of North America spawn in streams. Males arrive before the females and build nests. In laboratory choice experiments, ovulating females selected water from spermiating males and increased their searching behavior there. In a natural stream, females responded to male odors from as far as 65 m. The active...

Fluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol can be used as an example of a large-scale local distribution of phenols. From 1958 this compound was employed to control the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) in four of the North American Great Lakes (Superior, Michigan, Huron and Ontario) by using approximately 50,000 kg per year, such that by 1988 more than 1 million kg had been applied. This compound has also been introduced in order to control tadpole infestations in warm water ornamental fishponds .

Ecker (1844), however, recorded the movement of the hair cells in the ear of Petromyzon marinus. The hair cells which he observed were from the semicircular canal and, according to his report, each cell bore a single ciliary hair which was very long in comparison with the length of the cell. Movement of a hair was described as a bending of the tip followed by a lashing in which the basal portion of the cell took little part. No report of the movement of hair cells in ears, except that given by Ecker, is known to me.
