Federal funds to study lamprey eel invasion in Lake Michigan

The invasive eel-like parasite endangers game fish by attaching to hosts, feeding, and weakening or killing them. The bill authorizes research on life cycle spawning grounds and control methods, as traps prove costly and lampreys spread via boats and locks.
