Podcasts about sea lamprey

This week, Randy checks in from Washington D.C. where he's meeting with lawmakers and staffers to get the latest on public land policy—and sound the alarm on new efforts to sell off public lands. With major decisions looming, we break down what's at stake and how it could impact access and conservation across the country. We also cover a wide range of wildlife and land management stories from around the West:

The Great Lakes are renowned for both its commercial and sport fishing industries. Long before that, the gifts of the inland seas provided both sustenance and economic trading power to the Indigenous peoples who lived in the region. But, there was a time, not long ago, where the fisheries of the Great Lakes were almost left for dead. A new documentary, narrated by actor J.K. Simmons, explores the decades-long hunt to identify and subdue one of the biggest threats to Great Lakes fisheries: the sea lamprey. The film, The Fish Thief: A Great Lakes Mystery, was commissioned to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, the agency tasked with controlling sea lamprey. On this episode, we’ll be exploring how 19th and 20th century shipping opened the door for new vessels - and new threats to Great Lakes wildlife. GUESTS: Lindsey Haskin, director of The Fish Thief: A Great Lakes Mystery Mike Siefkes, director of sea lamprey control with the Great Lakes Fishery Commission See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You will need a sea lamprey and a ten pound bowling ball for this episode. Rob was inspired to dedicate an entire podcast episode about lamprey after reading Cory Brant‘s Great Lakes Sea Lamprey: The 70 Year War on a Biological Invader. These bizarre fish would not have a full podcast episode dedicated to them, however their presence in the Great Lakes effects anglers across all the lakes. Rob sent out a few emails and was directed to Greg McClinchey at the Great Lakes Fisheries Commission (GLFC). Greg is the GLFC Director of Policy and Legislative Affairs. Rob and Greg talk all things sea lamprey from the fossil record to current day. Sea lamprey are freakishly odd creatures that have remained mostly unchanged for the past several millions years. Learn what happens when they entered a new ecosystem and how their voracious appetite relates to you as an angler. Sea Lamprey In Occoquan River | Channel 9 News DC Learn more about your ad choices.

In this week's episode we are going to talk about weird wildlife in Maine! Maine, with its rugged coastline, dense forests, and picturesque landscapes, is a haven for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers. While the state is known for its iconic moose, black bears, and Atlantic puffins, there exists a fascinating array of peculiar creatures that often go unnoticed. In this blog post, we embark on a journey to discover some of Maine's most peculiar wildlife, including the elusive Hoary Bat, the notorious Sea Lamprey, the resilient Purple Sandpiper, and the intimidating Giant Water Bug.1.The Enigmatic Hoary Bat:Venture into the twilight hours of a summer evening in Maine, and you might catch a glimpse of the Hoary Bat (Lasiurus cinereus), an enigmatic creature that often goes unnoticed due to its nocturnal habits. With its striking silver-gray fur and distinctive, frosted appearance, the Hoary Bat is one of the largest bat species found in Maine. Although they are skilled flyers, these bats are known for their solitary nature and preference for wooded habitats. Their exceptional camouflage and roosting high up in the trees make them challenging to spot, but their unique beauty and role as insectivores contribute significantly to Maine's ecosystem.2.The Notorious Sea Lamprey:Diving into the marine world, we encounter the Sea Lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), a creature that simultaneously fascinates and repulses. These ancient, jawless fish have inhabited Maine's coastal waters for millennia. While they might not be aesthetically pleasing to all, the Sea Lamprey plays a crucial role in the ecological balance of the region. Their parasitic nature, attaching themselves to other fish using their sucker-like mouths, may not endear them to popular opinion, but they serve as an important food source for other species, such as eagles and seals. Despite their peculiar lifestyle, the Sea Lamprey's presence in Maine's waters is a testament to the diversity of life within its oceans. 3.The Resilient Purple Sandpiper:Known for their tenacity and adaptability, the Purple Sandpiper (Calidris maritima) is a peculiar shorebird that thrives in Maine's rocky coastal environments. These medium-sized birds are known for their distinct purple-gray plumage, which helps them blend in seamlessly with the coastal rocks they inhabit. Unlike other migratory shorebirds, the Purple Sandpiper chooses to winter along the harsh and icy shores of Maine. Their resilience and unique ability to forage in the face of crashing waves and freezing temperatures make them an extraordinary sight for avid birdwatchers and a testament to the wonders of nature's adaptability. 4.The Intimidating Giant Water Bug:Venturing into Maine's freshwater ecosystems, we encounter the intimidating Giant Water Bug (Belostomatidae). As the largest insect species found in the state, these fascinating creatures evoke a mix of awe and trepidation. With their elongated bodies and powerful forelimbs adapted for catching prey, Giant Water Bugs are skilled predators. They often lie in wait, camouflaged among vegetation or submerged objects, and ambush unsuspecting prey. While they may seem intimidating, these creatures play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of freshwater ecosystems by controlling populations of insects and other aquatic organisms. Maine's wildlife is as diverse and intriguing as the state's picturesque landscapes. From the elusive Hoary Bat to the notorious Sea Lamprey, the resilient Purple Sandpiper, and the intimidating Giant Water Bug, each of these peculiar creatures contributes to the ecological tapestry that makes Maine a unique and vibrant destination for nature enthusiasts.

On this week's The Sci-Files, your hosts Chelsie and Danny interview Emily Mensch. Emily is a 2nd-year master's student in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife in the Applied Behavioral Ecology Lab. She studies chemical and behavioral ecology in the invasive sea lamprey and how this can be applied to management and conservation efforts in the Great Lakes and beyond. The invasive sea lamprey has been historically detrimental to the Great Lakes- decimating both economic and ecological resources. While current control techniques (such as dams and pesticides) are successful in controlling this species, there is societal pressure to remove barriers and reduce pesticide use, and climate change will likely create more management challenges. This means that alternative or supplementary control mechanisms are necessary. Emily's research focuses on one such alternative control technique- using smell to manipulate fish movement. Many aquatic organisms, sea lamprey included, are able to smell when a member of the same species is injured or dead. This scent, called an alarm cue, elicits a “fear” reaction in the fish, resulting in behavior patterns such as avoidance. Emily is working to understand the chemical identification of this alarm cue so that it can be used as a repellent in invasive sea lamprey management, with implications for use in the conservation of imperiled species such as the pacific lamprey. Scientifically, this would also be the first full description of a fish alarm cue.  If you're interested in talking about your MSU research on the radio or nominating a student, please email Chelsie and Danny at scifiles@impact89fm.org.
