Journal Article
Bird, D. J., & Potter, I. C. (1983). Changes in the fatty acid composition of triacylglycerols and phospholipids during the life cycle of the lamprey Geotria australis Gray. Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology - B: Comparative Biochemistry, 75(1), 31-41. https://doi.org/10.1016/0305-0491%252883%252990036-6

1. 1. Fatty acid composition of Geotria australis has been investigated in larvae and downstream migrants and in muscle, liver and gonad of early upstream migrant and nearly mature adults. 2. 2. The main depot lipid class in G. australis is triacy...

Proximate composition at various stages of adult life in the Southern Hemisphere lamprey, Geotria australis gray (1983)
Journal Article
Bird, D. J., & Potter, I. C. (1983). Proximate composition at various stages of adult life in the Southern Hemisphere lamprey, Geotria australis gray. Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology - A: Comparative Physiology, 74(3), 623-633. https://doi.org/10.1016/0300-9629%2883%2990557-1

1. 1. At the end of the marine trophic phase in Geotria australis, the lipid content (as % wet body weight) was very high in the whole animal (21%) and in the liver (38-40%). 2. 2. During the very long spawning-run period (ca 16 months), vast changes...

Metamorphic changes in the intestine of three species of lampreys (1983)
Journal Article
Hilliard, R. W., Bird, D. J., & Potter, I. C. (1983). Metamorphic changes in the intestine of three species of lampreys. Journal of Morphology, 176(2), 181-196. https://doi.org/10.1002/jmor.1051760207

Measurements have been made of those changes which lead to increases in the surface area of the intestine during the metamorphosis of three species of lampreys. Although the intestine of the Southern Hemisphere lamprey, Geotria australis, increases i... Read More about Metamorphic changes in the intestine of three species of lampreys.

Changes in the water/lipid relationship during the spawning-run of lampreys (1983)
Journal Article
Potter, I. C., Mckay, R. J., & Bird, D. J. (1983). Changes in the water/lipid relationship during the spawning-run of lampreys. Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology - A: Comparative Physiology, 75(3), 369-374. https://doi.org/10.1016/0300-9629%2883%2990095-6

1. 1. The relationships between the percentage water and lipid contents of the liver, muscle and gonad have been investigated in adult lampreys. 2. 2. While the relationship between water and lipid in any organ or tissue could generally be expressed... Read More about Changes in the water/lipid relationship during the spawning-run of lampreys.

Quantitative data on morphology and organ weights during the protracted spawning‐run period of the Southern Hemisphere lamprey Geotria australis (1983)
Journal Article
Potter, I. C., HILLIARD, R. W., Bird, D. J., & MACEY, D. J. (1983). Quantitative data on morphology and organ weights during the protracted spawning‐run period of the Southern Hemisphere lamprey Geotria australis. Journal of Zoology, 200(1), 1-20. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7998.1983.tb06106.x

Data are presented for a wide variety of different measurements and observations made on representatives of the lamprey Geotria australis caught during the first four months after they had left the sea in seven successive years. Comparisons have been... Read More about Quantitative data on morphology and organ weights during the protracted spawning‐run period of the Southern Hemisphere lamprey Geotria australis.
