Fields of brook lampreys. That must have been a sight. I never saw them and the 20 or so lampreys in the counting tank were catched by fishermen with some kind of electric stunning device to catch all the fish. Sad to realize what has gone in a few decades. On Mon, 20 Mar 2023 at 11:16, mike wilso

Lampreys are fascinating organisms. Apart from being (afaik) the only four-eyed vertebrate, their body chemistry provides rich hunting grounds for pharmaceutics. Some are anadromous, some are not; some have a parasitic phase of their life cycle, some do not. As a child, I remember seeing "fie
