About the Authors
Hello everybody! Thank you for visiting our website. Our names are Vanessa Rud, T.J. Boettcher, and Brandon Wedig. This informational website explaining the Silver Lamprey, or Ichthyomyzon unicuspis, was created by students as a requirement for Organismal Biology (Bio 203) at the University of Wisconsin, LaCrosse. As we were trying to decide which organism to study for our website, we decided that choosing an organism that can be found in the Midwest, especially the Mississippi River, would be an interesting topic. We all enjoy spending our sunny, summer days boating, fishing, and swimming on the Mississippi River. We then decided we would like to take a closer look at the Silver Lamprey, which resides in the Mississippi River. Choosing a species that we were familiar with has given us a better understanding of the Ichthyomyzon unicuspis. We hope you enjoyed our informational website!
