Guernsey commercial fisherman Steve Fallaize was fishing for bass, Dicentrarchus labrax, on the Boue Blondel off Guernsey's west coast when he landed a bass with a sea lamprey attached. This lamprey was given to me on the 13 January 2007. It was photographed and released into Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast. Several weeks later a recreational angler reported catching a grey mullet, Chelon labrosus, in Belle Greve Bay with a sea lamprey attached. The size of the lamprey indicated that this specimen was most likely the one that I had released.
