The sea lamprey is a problem because it is an invasive species that preys on native fish populations in the Great Lakes and other freshwater ecosystems. Its parasitic feeding habits can lead to significant declines in fish populations, disrupting local ecosystems and harming commercial and recreational fisheries. Additionally, the sea lamprey's rapid reproduction and lack of natural predators in these environments exacerbate its impact, making management and control efforts challenging.
