Relative risk of granular Bayluscide applications for fishes and mussels of conservation concern in the Great Lakes Basin / David W. Andrews, Eric R.B. Smyth, Dominique E. Lebrun, Todd J. Morris, Kelly... : Fs70-5/2021-034E-PDF

"Bayluscide, a chemical lampricide, is used by government agencies in the Great Lakes basin to assess Sea Lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) as part of bi-national efforts to control the species. The use of granular Bayluscide has been highly successful in identifying and suppressing Sea Lamprey populations. However, the ecological risk of Bayluscide for fishes and mussels listed under Canada's Species at Risk Act and other species of conservation concern is not well understood. This document: 1) identifies potential pathways (direct, indirect) and mechanisms (physiological, non-physiological) by which the application of granular Bayluscide may influence fishes and mussels of conservation concern; 2) evaluates the relative ecological risk of applications based on four metrics (spatial distribution, application intensity, habitat associations that predispose species to exposure, toxicity); 3) identifies mitigation measures that may reduce potential impacts to non-target species; and, 4) identifies uncertainties needed to refine risk estimates"--Abstract, page viii.
