How might a sea lamprey be controlled?
I hope not. The Lamprey is part of the marine ecosystem and if it were removed it would unbalance it. If you are finding that there are a large number of lampreys and they are causing you a problem, this will be because man's activities somewhere else in the ecosystem (removing too much fish, dumping trash, pollution etc, has already disturbed the balance. If the cause is removed, the population of lampreys will eventually return to normal.
