They won't attack.... but you can grab them and stick them to your arm and they will hang on.... and they hold on pretty hard, often when you pull then off you will have some teeth stuck in your skin
I missed the reasoning as to why you don't kill all of the Lamprey male and female. Seems like the logical route to take to me since they are an invasive species. What am I missing? Are they endangered?
Just speculation here, as I have zero knowledge of lamprey spawning habits.... If they spawn, one on one and the males compete, the bigger/stronger sterile males could "win", which would result in the female dropping her eggs, and they'd go unfertilized...and/or the male that "loses"(not sterile), doesn't get to spawn at all. (That's the only way I can make sense of it, anyway)
It's a great delicacy in Finland, the price is exorbitant. The only problem is, the lamprey season is very short, so you can't make money on it around the year, but when you do, you really are raking in money. If you catch one, add some salt and smoke it.
@@xboxgamerz22 Its kind of ironic seeing humans trying to stop these... But yet still we've managed to endanger (lost count) of how many animals/species to the brink of extinction 🤔
Just offer the public $1 per lamprey. They will be gone in less than 6 months and cost a fraction of the cost of all this research/loss of revenue from fishing/etc. yw.
they did that in India with cobras but they just began to farm them until they stopped paying people and they set all the farmed cobras free creating an even larger problem
Jeremy wade says other about sea lamprey attacking people. He has interviewed people attacked while swimming in the Great lakes. All this money invested in studies and marking them. Start a mobile fish processing plant and start catching them and shipping them overseas for food. Generate some revenue for the people living in the areas around the Great lakes instead of taxing them more for these studies.
Good idea but the places that mostly eat them France, Portugal are surrounded by them too. That's the problem their so Invasive. 80 thousand eggs in one fish. That's insane
I've lived in Wisconsin my whole life and have never heard of anybody being attacked by a lamprey. Frankly I'm fine with what they are doing with my taxes, and have no interest in subsidizing or supporting such fisheries. If the market had demand for such things, that's fine, but it doesnt really exist and there is no reason to waste time, money and effort when there is no demand. The fine men and women who work on the lakes and protect the lakes against many invasive species do amazing work in keeping our lakes safe and serviceable for us. They deserve all the credit in the world. That's my opinion.
Tj I don’t think you know how much work has to be done to pass a law, and besides, this kind of idea has been used before with no success. People will just start farming the shits for money, doing nothing to the population.
@Nini Riki insides meaning meat. I could of been more descriptive but I didn't know I'd have to explain anything. Just the meat and texture. Not the organs. But it's alright. They have a different taste compared to eel. So I don't know what they'd taste like is the sentence I should put
It’s nice to know that someone is taking care of this situation while we get to just swim and enjoy the beaches knowing that they are kept under control and they won’t feed on us humans as well. :)))
Dissected one of these in highschool, there are no bones in the scary critter and the cartilage is tough as lean muscle. I hate fish and I really hate parasites.
We eat them in Latvia. At first, fish is fried on the pan, but after that black tea infusion takes place for some time and gelatenize everything in place where its located (plastic bucket). We eat it with white bread and butter. :)

The males are released so they can track them to spawning area. Male lamprey will fight other makes for females. The males are sterile so even if they out compete other males they can't reproduce anymore.
I'm sure I missed something. How does sterilizing the males, then letting them go to hunt for females make them less dangerous??? Catch them, and make fertilizer or somethin'!
@@burt591 your explanation is best, however since they want to save the native species, why not kill them all? they are going to latch onto to the native fish, wished they saw fit to explain
@@deidradahl2802 If they are anything like other fish I am familiar with, they dont run until the end of their life cycle, meaning they are going to be dead soon anyway.
@@deidradahl2802 Fair enough, they did say it had to do with the fact that the sterile males compete with the fertile males but i suppose they werent too specific.

The males are released so they can track them to spawning area. Male lamprey will fight other makes for females. The males are sterile so even if they out compete other males they can't reproduce anymore.
Experimenting with Eugenics
Lampreas are very apreciated and expensive in the nortwest of Spain and north Portugal. They are cooked in their own blood.
they're gonna feed on those giant flying carp and become even larger before moving on to more tasty bipedal menu
Informative
