...Yu-Wen Chung-Davidson; Ugo Bussy; Skye D. Fissette; Anne M. Scott; Weiming Li ABSTRACT Pheromonal bile salts are important for sea lampreys ( Petromyzon marinus ) to complete their life cycle. The synthesis and release of a releaser/primer pheromone 3-keto petromyzonol sulfate (3kPZS...

..., particularly for anguilliform swimmers, such as the sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus . For this study, we compared the kinematics and hydrodynamics of larval sea lampreys with those of lampreys accelerating from rest during escape swimming. We used experimentally derived velocity fields to calculate pressure...

This secondary sexual character, developed in front of the anterior dorsal fin of mature males, is a swollen dorsal...

Tufts ABSTRACT The life cycle of the sea lamprey ( Petromyzon marinus ) is characterized by a terminal upstream spawning migration that may be associated with brief bursts of high-intensity swimming. Such activity usually leads to pronounced blood...
