NWFSC marine fish surveys
Hake survey- Big surveys in odd years - 2019: 65 days sea time- 50-110 midwater trawlsGroundfish survey- US-Canada to US-Mexico- Two passes every year - 600-700 bottom trawlsPelagic (juv. Salmon) surveys- May, June- Newport to C. Flattery - On shelf (<300 m depth)- 100 Surface trawls
Catches the most Pacific lamprey
Highest diversity of lamprey wounds
Catches the most western river lamprey

• Hake survey was able to PIT tag single lamprey in 2017 and 2018 • (no subsequent detections yet)
• Will send out more PIT tags during 2019 survey (65 sea days!)
Hake survey provides opportunity to tag lamprey
with PIT tags

Methods• Lamprey were measured for:
• Length (mm) & weight (g)• Intestine weight (g)• Oral disc diameter*• Distance between dorsal fins*• Moisture content (proxy for lipids)*• No. of gill openings (L, R)
• Samples collected/retained: • fin clips• Intestines• Bodies and heads (for statoliths)
• Catch information • date of capture• latitude/longitude • fishing & bottom depth
*Subsampled

Distribution of lampreyGiven likely freshwater sources of Pacific lamprey, I expected that:• Lamprey would be clustered around major river mouths
(Chehalis, Columbia, Umpqua, Rogue, Klamath), especially:• shortly after ocean entry in spring• immediately before re-entry to freshwater in fall
• Higher densities around biggest rivers (Columbia)• Dispersed at other times of year

Expectations for feeding success and gut fullness
Expect that feeding success and therefore gut fullness would be in order of:
1. Lamprey caught with hake (preferred host)2. Lamprey caught by the groundfish survey
(lots of likely hosts)3. Lamprey caught by the shrimp fishery (not
parasitizing shrimp)
High
Low
Gut fullness (%BW) = 100x Gut wt (g)
Fish wt (g)- gut wt (g)

Summary and conclusions
• New marine collections provide new insight on Pacific lamprey marine ecology, such as ….
• Provide first estimates of ocean growth rates
• 2-3 years in the ocean is probably correct
• Lamprey aren’t clumped in front of major river mouths but widely dispersed in ocean
• Lamprey caught by shrimp fishery didn’t have low gut fullness
• resting on bottom after gorging on hosts?

Next steps• See if patterns repeated with extensive 2018 collections
(not processed yet)• Determining host preferences
• eDNA of gut contents (Hampton University)• Pilot project: use trophic biomarkers (fatty acids and stable
isotopes) to determine feeding histories
• Compile data on fish with lamprey wounds• Put this data in the context of the whole life cycle
Comparisons with lamprey before ocean entryComparison with lamprey after freshwater re-enty
