Our work takes us to locations throughout the Great Lakes basin. We assess larval and adult sea lamprey populations and control sea lamprey numbers with a variety of state of the art techniques. Control techniques include application of lampricides in natal streams and lentic areas to kill larvae, as well as innovative alternative control technologies that limit reproduction such as trapping and use of barriers to limit spawning migrations. We collaborate with internal and external researchers to advance novel technologies for managing invasive species such as sea lamprey pheromones and repellants. We work closely with federal, state, and tribal agencies and international organizations including the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and Universities. The Chemist position plays a vital role in a variety of program issues including but not limited to determining the effects and interactions of aquatic pesticides on stream ecology, designing and maintaining a Quality Assurance Program, analyzing data from field and laboratory studies, and training professional and technical-level personnel in chemistry methods.
