The Great Lakes Fishery Commission issued a progress report Tuesday on containing the parasitic lampreys, which invaded the lakes in the last century from the Atlantic Ocean and threatened trout and other native species.
They use suction-cup mouths and razor-sharp teeth to feed on blood and body fluids of other fish, usually killing their hosts.The commission says Lake Huron populations are close to target levels and have held steady the past five years. Although above target, numbers in Superior and Erie have dropped significantly since near-record highs were observed in 2017.
Yeah all we need is our fish going extincted because of this monstrous thing. Talk about Attack of the Killer Leaches. Yes actually movie.
I won’t be going into the lakes with that thing in there
