During the past century, the sea lamprey colonized the Great Lakes of North America and decimated the commercial fishing industry. The isolation and characterization of a migratory pheromone from the sea lamprey expands options for control of this invading species.

    Translocating Adult Pacific Lamprey within the Columbia River Basin: State of the Science
    TLDR
    Both translocation programs appear to have increased the number of spawning adults and the presence of larvae and juveniles; however, any subsequent increase in naturally spawning adults will require at least one, and likely more, generations to be realized. Expand
    Marine chemical ecology
    TLDR
    This review covers the recent marine chemical ecology literature for benthic cyanobacteria, macroalgae, sponges, octocorals, molluscs, other benthics invertebrates, fish and seabirds. Expand
    Development of Pacific lamprey fishways at a hydropower dam
    TLDR
    The structures described here were fabricated in modular units and installed at Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River and featured a series of aluminium ramps interspersed with rest boxes that prevented lamprey from moving back downstream. Expand
    Pheromones of Marine Invertebrates and Algae
    TLDR
    This work has provided outstanding opportunities for new discoveries in marine natural products chemistry, particularly sex pheromones, which have been identified in marine invertebrate and algae communication systems. Expand
    Evaluating the effectiveness of restoring longitudinal connectivity for fish migration and dispersal in impacted river systems
    TLDR
    Longitudinal connectivity for fish was shown to have improved post-restoration, exemplified by improved fish passage over the multiple structures in both directions, while permeability of unrestored structures remained low. Expand

    The Chemical Ecology and Potential Application of the Sea Lamprey Migratory Pheromone
    TLDR
    Biochemical studies combined with electrophysiological recording from the sea lamprey olfactory system and behavioral experiments demonstrate that the migratory pheromone released by larvae is a potent stimulant of adult sea lampreys migratory behavior which might be useful inSea lamprey control. Expand
    Pheromone Communication in Sea Lampreys (Petromyzon marinus): Implications for Population Management
    The results of recent preference tests indicate that both male and female landlocked sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus), after reaching a specific stage of sexual maturation, release pheromones which… Expand
    Mixture of new sulfated steroids functions as a migratory pheromone in the sea lamprey
    TLDR
    The discovery of a multicomponent steroidal pheromone that is released by stream-dwelling larval lamprey and guides adults to spawning streams and is the first migratory pherumone identified in a vertebrate and is being investigated for use in lamprey control. Expand
    The olfactory system of migratory adult sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is specifically and acutely sensitive to unique bile acids released by conspecific larvae
    TLDR
    The unique lamprey bile acids, ACA and PS, are potent and specific stimulants of the adult olfactory system, strongly supporting the hypothesis that these unique bile acid function as migratory pheromones in lamprey. Expand
    Bile Acid Secreted by Male Sea Lamprey That Acts as a Sex Pheromone
    We show that reproductively mature male sea lampreys release a bile acid that acts as a potent sex pheromone, inducing preference and searching behavior in ovulated female lampreys. The secreted bile… Expand
    Identification of the Sex Pheromone of the German Cockroach, Blattella germanica
    TLDR
    The sex pheromone of the German cockroach, Blattella germanica, has been characterized as gentisyl quinone isovalerate by a new preparative gas chromatography approach coupled with electroantennographic detection and confirmed the identification by chemical synthesis. Expand
    Squalamine: an aminosterol antibiotic from the shark.
    TLDR
    The discovery of squalamine in the shark implicates a steroid as a potential host-defense agent in vertebrates and provides insights into the chemical design of a family of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Expand
