Murky Mysteries of Young Lamprey in the San Francisco Estuary
View through CrossRef
Early one morning, a scientist collecting fish in the San Francisco Estuary was surprised to find a young lamprey. She knew lamprey were ancient fish without jaws, bones, or scales, and she wondered to herself: Where else are young lamprey in the estuary? She discovered that although lamprey existed long before dinosaurs, little is known about their lives in estuaries. She and her team decided to gather data from scientists who accidentally caught lamprey while studying other animals. This process of reusing data from unrelated studies, called data synthesis, is an important tool for answering unsolved mysteries. The team uncovered differences in where young lamprey live and that three species live in the San Francisco Estuary, including two species that live half of their lives in the ocean and the other half in freshwater. Knowing where young lamprey live can help scientists protect the habitats lamprey need to develop.
