But hey, don't worry about the Cobalt-60 in "treated" ! didn't even mention it until pressed...

Sterilizing effects of cobalt-60 and cesium-137 radiation on male sea lampreys

By: L.H. Hanson, 1990

"Male spawning-run sea lampreys Petromyzon marinus were exposed to various doses of cobalt-60 or cesium-137 radiation in an attempt to sterilize them for use in a program for controlling sea lampreys through the release of sterile males. Males captured and irradiated during the early part of the upstream migration were not effectively sterilized at the doses tested. After irradiation, the sea lampreys were more susceptible to fungal infections by Saprolegnia sp., and many died without attempting to spawn. Males captured and irradiated during the middle and late parts of the spawning migration were effectively sterilized at a dose of 2,000 rads. However, some radiation-induced mortality was observed in males captured and irradiated during the middle part of the spawning migration. Radiation is not as effective as the chemosterilant bisazir for sterilizing male sea ."

in , of dies.

Not in . Not from some plague. No. My guy died from too much junk food.

See, back then was a rich, indulgent delicacy for and Hanky-Panky couldn't get enough.

His even told him to knock it off with all the lamprey eating. He didn't.💀

Is there a better story to kick off the season? Maybe. But none of them have .
