Sea lamprey reached Lake Superior in 1938. Together with overfishing, they helped decimate populations of lake trout and other large fish. The lake's annual lake trout harvest, which had averaged 4.5 million pounds (1,814,000 kilograms) from the 1920s through the late 1940s, fell to 500,000 pounds (227,000 kilograms) by 1960.

How devastating has the lamprey been on the Great Lakes?

The Great Lakes Fishery Commission says that before sea lampreys entered the Great Lakes, Canada and the U.S. harvested about 15 million pounds of lake trout in lakes Huron and Superior annually. By the early 1960s, the catch was only about 300,000 pounds.
