The invasive sea lamprey has threatened native species in the Great Lakes for quite some time. MSAL alumnus, Xiaobo Tan, and his colleagues are developing a “smart” sensing panel to determine the sea lamprey’s suction pressure dynamics to investigate a way to control the invasive species. The Michigan State University team has published a paper, “Measurement of suction pressure dynamics of sea lampreys, Petromyzon marinus,” explaining their research. (12 - Aug/ 2021)
