The cost of controlling sea lamprey populations varies depending on the methods used and the scale of the efforts. In the Great Lakes region, for example, annual expenditures for sea lamprey control can range from $15 million to $20 million. This includes costs for chemical treatments, biological control methods, and monitoring programs. Overall, effective management is essential for protecting native fish populations and maintaining the health of ecosystems.
No, it only affects the sea lamprey.

The Sea Lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is a parasitic species of fish (despite their resemblance to eels they are not related). At this point there are no 'true' predators of this species at any stage of it's life-cycle.The Sea Lamprey is considered an invasive species in the Great Lakes region and has been decimating the fish populations. Currently the control measures are limited to chemical and mechanical processes such as sterilization, physical barriers, and poison in extreme cases."Sea Lamprey." USGS Great Lakes Science Center. .
They don't.

One of the main enemies of the sea lamprey is the native predators such as larger fish, birds, and mammals that feed on them. Additionally, efforts to control sea lamprey populations in the Great Lakes include trapping, barriers, and chemical treatments to reduce their numbers.
