• Description:
  Little is known of the larval biology of Pacific lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus), a species of conservation concern. With miniaturization of passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags, researchers now have the potential to individually mark larval lamprey. However, recent studies with sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) ammocoetes indicated that mortality was unacceptably high after surgical implantation of these tags. We examined survival, tag retention, growth, and swimming performance of Pacific lamprey ammocoetes tagged with uniquely coded 8.4-mm PIT tags and controls marked with visible implant elastomer (VIE).
