| 882.1 | ????????????????????? | BTO::LEVESQUE_R | | Fri Dec 02 1988 12:53 | 2 |

or the lamprey program?

| 882.2 | Lamprey control.... | BTOVT::MORONG | | Wed Aug 16 1989 13:35 | 23 |
| For those who hadn't heard, some of Vermonts lawmakers (Senators,
Representatives, ect....) and legislators wanted to get a first hand
experience on the Lamprey problems plaguing Lake Champlain, so they
asked some of the local charter captains to take them out. They cer-
tainly got to see what they wanted. Of the 8 lake trout caught by the
group, 4 of them had lampreys attached to them.
"Two of the three we caught in our boat had lampreys," US Senator
James Jeffords said. "I knew it was a problem, but I had no idea it
was so bad."
Officials in Vermont and New York state plan next year to begin
spraying chemicals on 14 deltas and streams that flow into the lake
to kill lampreys before they hatch. Apparently the lamprey go upstream
to spawn, so the idea sounds good. We definetly a lamprey control pro-
gram.
I am in favor of the spraying. I'm sure that enough research went into
the application and use of these chemicals, and their effects on the
enviroment, to make this type of project safe.

| Maybe you folks can explain to me what a lamprey is.
I'm sure the one that I am picturing is not the one that you
are talking about.
curious.

| A lamprey is a nasty old fish with a round, flat mouth that attaches itself
onto a salmon or lake trout and sustains its life by using the host as
its food source. When the host dies, it finds another host.

Ed,
The lamprey EEL looks like a snake except for the mouth,
I will tell you that as soon as you see one it will send a chill
up your spine cause they are ugly as hell !!!!
My wife works at P.K.Zylas (expensive job) and PK just got back
from lake O and they caught a lamprey 2-3 foot range on a NK.28
and it was green and slimey and awfull ugly he said.
