Currently the largest recommendation that we've had from universities has been primarily from the University of Minnesota and Michigan State University, and that is all of the research that is ongoing in terms of our sea lamprey pheromone work. Those recommendations have been put in place. One of the things we're looking at now is doing field trials, because we think that will significantly impact our ability to improve our trapping for lamprey.
Another very critical piece of research we've had, which has played a huge role in our program, was research that was funded at Michigan State University, again through the PERM scientist, looking at the way we made our determination on which streams we were going to treat.
You can understand you don't go in holus-bolus and treat all the streams. You want to treat the streams when it's the exact time to treat them. Some research at Michigan State University showed we could do it in a much more cost-effective way. The way we were able to roll it into our control program, saved us a great deal of money in terms of assessment.
Another really key one, which happened about 15 years ago, was a research program led by the University of Guelph looking at the barrier program and the impact that had on diversity within the system. We found that when we constructed a barrier in a stream, by and large we reduced the biodiversity within that stream by about two-and-a-half species—one of those being sea lamprey. As a result, we ended up taking a different approach to our barriers to make sure we had fish passage associated with those barriers.
