Abstract
Transoceanic migration in lampreys is documented for the first time. 40 adult Pacific lampreys Entosphenus tridentatus were tagged with passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags in the western Bering Sea between 2012 and 2015. In September 2015, one of them was detected in the Columbia River basin. This testifies that Pacific lamreys are capable to perform lengthy transoceanic migrations from feeding grounds in the Bering Sea to spawning grounds in the U.S. and Canada rivers.
