Pouched lamprey are coming to Adelaide!
In the beginning of July mature adult pouched lamprey (Geotria australis) will begin their migration up the rivers in Adelaide. These adult lamprey have just spent time (researchers do not know how long!) in the ocean feeding and are now making their way back into freshwater in order to spawn. PhD student, Allison Miller, from the University of Otago will be going to Adelaide to collect samples for genetic analyses. The results from these analyses will depict how lamprey in Adelaide are related to all other pouched lamprey in the Southern Hemisphere.
