Summary

After hiding under the substrate at a fish research center for nearly 7 years as larvae, Pacific lamprey EMERGED as juveniles with eyes and a suction disk mouth!

These fish, which are of Tribal and ecological importance, are now ready for their journey out to sea!

The Abernathy Fish Technology Center in Washington worked in collaboration with the Yakama Nation, the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation and the Chelan County Public Utility District to conduct this research to further understand and conserve Pacific lamprey.

This is a rare accomplishment to have Pacific lamprey reared and transformed in a captive setting.
