The invasive sea lamprey has been a significant threat to fish stocks in the Great Lakes, leading to substantial investments in control measures. Genetic control options are being explored as a potentially powerful tool, but there are challenges and uncertainties surrounding their application, particularly in terms of sociopolitical support and the need to protect sea lamprey in their native range.
The invasive sea lamprey was a significant factor in the collapse of fish stocks in the Great Lakes, and it continues to threaten the multi-billion-dollar fishing industry. Thus, substantial resources are invested annually on sea lamprey control. Current control strategies have reduced sea lamprey populations by up to 90%, but they are expensive and have some limitations, e.g., lamprey-specific biocides applied to larval habitat impact native lampreys, and physical barriers that block adult lamprey access to spawning habitat impede migration of other fishes. Therefore, genetic control options which offer a theoretically powerful and effective pest control tool are being explored, although they have uncertain sociopolitical support, especially given the need to protect sea lamprey in their native range in Atlantic drainages. Here, we present an overview of genetic approaches with potential for application to sea lamprey control in the Great Lakes. We classify these approaches into two major categories: self-limiting (heritable sex ratio ratchet, Trojan gene, split gene drive) and self-sustaining (gene drive-based sex ratio distortion, homing suppression gene drive, toxin-antidote gene drives, and modification-type gene drives to aid suppression). We describe the technical aspects, challenges, and potential application of each method, focusing on gene drives, a fast-evolving research area that was only a distant option for sea lamprey control in previous reviews. We conclude that, given the risk of undesired spread of deleterious alleles from the Great Lakes, self-limiting genetic control options and confined gene drives will likely be preferred over unconfined gene drive options for sea lamprey control.
