Summary

Within this chapter, we summarize information about Pacific lamprey gathered from relevant peer-reviewed literature and data regarding fish passage collected at Columbia and Snake river hydroelectric projects. The information and data help us to describe the life history, distribution, and habitat and water quality requirements of these fish. Historically, Pacific lamprey are thought to have occurred throughout the Columbia and Snake river basins, mirroring ranges of migrating salmon. As with other anadromous species, hydroelectric development on the Columbia and Snake rivers has hindered upstream migration of adult lamprey. Pacific lamprey are poor swimmers, and adults tend to have difficulty successfully migrating upstream through [...]
