Aaah! Kill it with fire!!!
John Amato reports that RFK Junior's recent visit to a Nez Perce hatchery raises serious concerns about his judgment. Allowing lampreys—notorious for their parasitic ways—to suck his blood appears more about seeking validation than sound medical practice. This questionable stunt questions his decision-making priorities as the head of Health and Human Services.

What impact are #beavers having on fish? James Macarthur tells us! In Tayside, using #environmental DNA (#eDNA), he found that there was no effect of beavers on #AtlanticSalmon and #lamprey. Beavers also had a positive effect on #EuropeanEel. There was a negative effect of pike on Atlantic salmon #FSBI2025
I remember seeing lamprey on lake trout we used to catch in the Finger Lakes when I was a kid - the stuff of nightmares!!
It's great to hear that they've been successful in significantly reducing their populations!!

Neuro-robotic experiments are fascinating. I remember the excitement when this team (almost 25 years ago) connected a lamprey fish’s brain to a robotic system. It was able to move its ‘vehicle’ towards lights. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/1043001.stm
But for obvious reasons, fungi are another thing entirely.

#Scientists find #endangered #lamprey #fish in #Queensland, 1400 km north of its previous known range https://phys.org/news/2024-05-scientists-ancient-endangered-lamprey-fish.html paper: https://www.int-res.com/abstracts/esr/v53/p547-553/
"Prior to this study, the species was widely believed to only live in a few streams along a 170 km stretch of coastline near the #NSW / #Victoria border... With this enormous extension of its geographic range, Australian brook lamprey becomes the only lamprey species in the world to live in truly #tropical waters."

Jawless ‘bite’ from the past: #Jurassic fossils shed light on #lamprey #evolution
@mk30 This is a really interesting article, thank you - especially on doubts, and minds changed by new insights & experience. Also glad of its link to the EU Water Framework Directive - useful ideas here for many countries!

Lampreys are part of an ancient superclass of jawless fish, called Agnatha. This group of fish evolved over 450 million years ago, making them one of the oldest living lineages in the world. Jawless fish are older than dinosaurs and even older than trees and have survived at least four mass extinction events.
Ancient #lamprey spotted in the wild on South #Australia's Limestone Coast https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06-16/lamprey-sighting-limestone-coast-south-australia-rare-fish/102487950 #zoology #science #fish
From the Petromyzontidae family and a part of Agnathan fishes dating back to the Ordovician Period, its the #Lamprey! What else do you know about Lamprey for #FisheriesFriday?
Scenes from the zoo: one polar bear enjoying the rain on her nose, the other watching people tv, stacks of turtles and lampreys looking like alien monsters.
#Lamprey is a popular dish these days in #Portugal 😱
