Pacific lampreys pass through Bonneville Lock & Dam using fish ladders and special ramp-like lamprey passage structures (seen here through viewing windows at the Bradford Island Visitor’s Center). This video is from various visits in the summer of 2021.
Pacific lampreys belong to a primitive group of fishes that are eel-like in form but lack the jaws and paired fins of true fishes. Pacific lampreys have a round sucker-like mouth, no scales and gill openings. Identification of lampreys depends largely on the number, structure and position of teeth found in adult lamprey.
