CHAPTER 24 INSIGHTS GAINED THROUGH RECENT TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS FOR CONSERVATION GENETICS OF PACIFIC LAMPREY (ENTOSPHENUS TRIDENTATUS)

Summary

In the last decade there has been acceleration in genetic studies conducted on Pacific lamprey. Here we discuss ways in which recent technological advancements have opened new research avenues that were previously intractable. Although not an exhaustive review of recent studies and findings, I discuss key results that demonstrate new genetic tools and analyses and how they may be used to address remaining critical uncertainties related to the conservation management and biology of this species. Notably, these genetic tools have allowed identification to species, as well as tracking and ageing of larval and juvenile Pacific lamprey, which are especially challenging to study due to their diminutive size. These abilities are necessary [...]
