NatureScot Commissioned Report 1040 - The collection of larval sea lamprey using drift netting, suction pumping, airlift sampling - a trial to inform the development of methods suitable for Site condition monitoring

SNH Research Report 1040 - front cover

Site Condition Monitoring (SCM) surveys of rivers notified for sea lamprey have, to date, used conventional electrofishing equipment to survey larval habitat in shallow water. The low numbers of sea lamprey larvae caught using this approach have been a cause for concern.

This report describes trials in the rivers Forth and Teith of alternative methods aimed at improving the results of SCM surveys and so our understanding of sea lamprey populations.
