NotesPacific lamprey is an anadromous species, spending most of its life in the ocean, but returning to coastal streams to spawn. In general, lamprey counts at dams tend to show steep declines in lamprey populations. How accurate is this information? The authors contrast dam counts with redd surveys in coastal streams and come up with a different conclusion.
