3-Trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) is the primary lampricide and is used to target larval sea lamprey residing in Great Lakes streams (top three pictures). 2′,5-Dichloro-4′-nitrosalicylanilide (niclosamide) is used as an additive to TFM during larger treatments, which reduces costs, but maintains the effectiveness and selectivity of the treatments. A time-release granular formulation of niclosamide is used to treat infested connecting waterways between the lakes and estuaries of infested streams (middle two pictures). Sea lamprey larvae are killed (bottom two pictures) before they can harm fishes. Photo credits: Top left and right—M. Siefkes, Great Lakes Fishery Commission; top centre and middle—T.
