Sea lamprey

Other Biological Applications. 4-Nitro-3-(trifluorometh5i)phenol [88-30-2] (TFM) is stiU employed by the Canadian Bureau of Fisheries and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a lampricide for the control of parasitic sea lamprey in the Great Lakes (see Aquaculture).

The Great Lakes have suffered the invasion of numerous exotic species of which the smelt, alewife and sea lamprey are probably the best known. More recently, two more species have entered the lakes probably via ballast water from foreign ships. The ruffe (Gymnocephalus cemuus) a small percid, feeds on the eggs and larvae of other percids and whitefish. The ruffe is currently considered to be a threat to Lake Superior s 5- 10 million whitefish fishery. The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) was discovered in Lake St. Clair in 1985 (31). It has subsequently been discovered at locations throughout the Great Lakes and is of major concern not only environmentally but economically. It has already colonized numerous industrial and domestic water intakes in sufficient numbers to entirely block water flow and is also an intermediate host to parasites which eventually invade fish.

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).

Support for the pheromone hypothesis has come from preference tests in Atlantic salmon parr and experiments with sea lampreys migrating upstream to spawn. 

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...
