  • Instead of trying to exterminate them with chemicals why not make a buck out of them by exporting them to England, where they are considered a delicacy? Also in Spain and Portugal they are highly prized. Maybe you'll be able to get rid of them by overfishing!

  • @majorgeorgen Meh, who knows. we need a disease... that destroys this species 

  • @AlexRaveloTV Its not smell or food. they feed on only blood.

  • How did they find that a spit would make them crazy?! I study them and didn't know that until now....

    They are parasitic, so I don't believe they were looking for food.

    This is one of the species that also occurs in west coast of Europe (from Norway to Portugal and Morocco). In fact, this one (Petromyzon marinus) is a very expensive "delicatessen" in some regions...

    Thumbs up if you want Anthony Bourdain tasting it!

  • look i know the compound..FOOD WHAT ARE YOU RETARDED!!? okay you eat food right??? then you have bits of food in your mouth after eating...(unseeable) and you spit into the tank ...the smell attracts them PROFIT???

  • @rocktohell Yes , we are eating them in europe as well (22.35 = 1 KG in marinade) they are delicious. But iam not sure that its the same kind of Lamprey as we have , they have different mouth and size.

  • Its the pheramones in spit that excites them. They get scared

  • It's all the cocaine in your nose you bad bad boy

  • ok...Now I know why my uncle told me not to spit in the ocean!(scare)

  • @Glaskruset LMAO, I won't dare to even put that thing a meter near my face.....
