  • Lamprey - Lampetra planeri [underlined] [European brook lamprey] May 30/42 [1942] Lampreys were again present in Smith Falls Creek below overflow pipe beside the road, Cultus Lake. Fred Martin, in charge of Hatchery, says they appeared on April 1st this season. Cowan [McTaggart Cowan] collected a few, including females filled with eggs, and sexually mature males Later the two of us netted specimens by holding net below while turning over rocks. The Lampreys apparently were hiding beneath stones and when disturbed they drifted downstream into the net Several "knots" of lampreys were seen where they were apparently spawning. Close inspection showed eggs in the gravel. Two species of Cottids - Cottus asper (?) [prickly sculpin] and C. aleuticus (?) [Coastrange sculpin] + coho fry were also taken at the same points.
