In the news: New barrier could help control sea lampreys near Lake Michigan

Posted August 16th, 2012 in Aquatic Invasive Species

“That will allow the federal government to build a new barrier there to keep sea lampreys from breeding in the river. Managers of the fishery expect that will bring the lamprey problem under control in Lake Michigan.”
