The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

We can eliminate invasions or live with them. Successful management projects (2008, background): “Peter Sorensen and his colleagues (Sorensen and Vrieze 2003; Sorensen and Stacey 2004; Sorensen et al. 2005) have developed an entirely new approach.”
Conspecific cueing in the sea lamprey: do reproductive migrations consistently follow the most intense larval odour? (2009, background): “Mere concentrations of 10 13 M in water are sufficient to elicit both long-distance movements (Sorensen & Vrieze 2003) and highly specific stream selection behaviour (Wagner et al. 2006).”
A field test verifies that pheromones can be useful for sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) control in the Great Lakes (2006, background): “Presumably, this cue is an indicator of suitable rearing habitat that facilitates the process of stream-finding but does not result in natal homing (Sorensen and Vrieze 2003 and references therein).”
Sea Lamprey International Symposium (SLIS II): Advances in the Integrated Management of Sea Lamprey in the Great Lakes (2003, unknown): “…in a search for “natural” lamprey controls The most promising new control methods are those involving the use of pheromones to affect migration and spawning behavior of sea lampreys and, thereby, increase capture efficiency and reduce spawning success (Li et al. 2003, Sorensen and Vrieze 2003).”
