Fishing Gear Used for River Lamprey Lampetra fluviatilis (L.) Catches : Documenting Rivers that Flow into the Baltic Sea. Part II, Finland, Latvia and Estonia
The river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis (L.)) is an anadromous fish that has a growth phase in the sea, then migrates up rivers mainly during autumn for spawning next spring. It is during this spawning migration the lampreys are caught in rivers. Lamprey fishing has been documented in the Baltic Sea...
