<title>Combating sea lamprey on Lake Champlain</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20502/20120919/combating-sea-lamprey-on-lake-champlain</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 19, 2012) If you&apos;re fishing for salmon or lake trout in Lake Champlain, you might end up with a fish you didn&apos;t bargain for. Sea lamprey are parasitic fish that look like eels. They latch on to larger fish and slowly drain out their body fluids. Lamprey can decimate entire fish populations, so every four years the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with help from the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department and New York&apos;s DEC, treats Lake Champlain tributaries with pesticides to control lamprey populations. This year&apos;s first treatment took place last week in the Saranac River delta in Plattsburgh.
