@taylorfishlab.bsky.social - a Fishmas gift for you?

Not much is scarier for a #GreatLakes fish than the invasive sea lamprey, sometimes called vampire fish 🧛 But while they're more trick than treat in their introduced range, they're actually threatened in parts of their native range of the Atlantic coasts of Europe + North America - that's scary!

After decades of sea lamprey control it made sense to reflect and identify lessons learned. These lessons are salient to other invasive species control programs! Co-authors incl @greatlakesjulie.bsky.social @kfilerrobinson.bsky.social @margaretdocker.bsky.social academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...

Just FYI… in case you want to vote. ⭕️🐟
