Lampricides are the primary weapon in the control of sea lamprey populations in the Great Lakes, but relatively little is known about their effects on non-targeted species. The Northern Michigan Biology Department will host a seminar addressing the impacts of the most common lampricide on sturgeon at 11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 26, in 2701 West Science. The public is invited.

Matthew J Symbal will present a seminar titled "Long Term Effects of Sub-Lethal Lampricide, 3-Trifluoromethyl-4-Nitrophenol (TFM), Exposure on the Metabolic Physiology of Juvinile Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens)."
