Role of physical barriers in the control of sea lamprey ( Petromyzon marinus )
Mechanical and electromechanical barriers played a significant role in the initial attempts to control sea lamprey ( Petromyzon marinus ) populations in the upper Great Lakes. More recently electromechanical weirs have been used to assess the relative abundance of spawning-run sea lampreys in Lake Superior. Development of an integrated control approach to sea lamprey control has stimulated an ongoing research program to define structural and/or velocity criteria that can be used to design barrier dams that block spawning runs of sea lamprey
