The Food Hygienic Quality of European River Lamprey (lampetra Fluviatilis L.)

The Sea Lamprey Petromyzon Marinus (l.), River Lamprey Lampetra Fluviatilis (l.) and Brook Lamprey Lampetra Planeri (bloch) in Ireland: General Biology, Ecology, Distribution and Status with Recommendations for Conservation

Three lamprey species occur in Ireland: sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus (L.), river lamprey, Lampetra fluviatilis (L.) and brook lamprey, Lampetra planeri (Bloch). All three species are listed under Annex II of the EU Habitats Directive (Directive 92/43/EEC), thereby requiring member states to designate Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) for their protection. The juvenile or ammocoete stages ...

The state of health of the river lamprey Lampetra fluviatilis (L.) from Lake Dabie compared to the pathogens hitherto found in this host.

The objective of the study was to check the health status of the anadromic river lamprey Lampetra fluviatilis (L.), the most frequently recorded lamprey species in Poland caught in Lake Dabie, connected with the Odra river estuary. The species composition of parasitofauna of the river lamprey from the Polish waters was compared to the pathogens of this host noted so far. The skin and fins, eyes...

Contrasting population genetic structure among freshwater-resident and anadromous lampreys: the role of demographic history, differential dispersal and anthropogenic barriers to movement

The tendency of many species to abandon migration remains a poorly understood aspect of evolutionary biology that may play an important role in promoting species radiation by both allopatric and sympatric mechanisms. Anadromy inherently offers an opportunity for the colonization of freshwater environments, and the shift from an anadromous to a wholly freshwater life history has occurred in many...

Fine structure of egg envelopes and the activation changes of cortical alveoli in the river lamprey, Lampetra fluviatilis.

Reconstructing the demographic history of divergence between European river and brook lampreys using approximate Bayesian computations.

Inferring the history of isolation and gene flow during species divergence is a central question in evolutionary biology. The European river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) and brook lamprey (L. planeri) show a low reproductive isolation but have highly distinct life histories, the former being parasitic-anadromous and the latter non-parasitic and freshwater resident. Here we used microsatellite...
