• Fish community change in Lake Superior, 1970-2000 (2003, background): “Additional control options must be developed, such as use of pheromone attractants to increase trapping efficiency or disrupt spawning (see Bjerselius et al. 2000; Li et al. 2002), to further reduce sea lamprey populations.”
• Larval sea lamprey release two unique bile acids** to the water at a rate sufficient to produce detectable riverine pheromone plumes (2001, background): “Third, behavioral experiments have found adult lamprey to swim more actively in flowing water when a 10−10 Molar (M) mixture of PS and ACA is added to it (Bjerselius et al. 2000).”
• Regulation of Migration (2007, background): “Olfactory cues provided by bile acids from larval sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) serve as olfactory signposts of productive breeding streams for migrating adults (Bjerselius et al. 2000).”
