^^ What he said. Add to that, lampreys temp requirements are lower than polys can tolerate. Finally, pacific lamprey adults migrate towards the ocean as they develop, becoming marine as full adults.
BTW, pacific lampreys are protected and considered as being 'near extinction'.

I thought the pacific lampreys were considered a pest and there are some programs to eradicate them.

The lamprey populations in the great lakes are considered to be a pest species against fisheries. The pacific lamprey populations are threatened with extinction and plans are in place to repopulate their ranges where they've disappeared.
Atlantic lampreys are over populating not pests.

Actually it's Sea Lamprey that is overpopulating AND being pests. Look at what happened to the lake trout populations of Great Lakes. Lampreys will always be a pest, overpopulating or not. Also please do not feed it to your bichirs, it may turn on them. Muskellunges, northern pikes and catfish are predators of the lampreys but lampreys love to sucking on them.
Not all lampreys are parastics as some of them are filter-feeding/detrius-feeding as juveniles then turn into non-feeding adults such as brook lampreys. Only few species were pest such as Sea Lamprey, Silver Lamprey and Chestnut Lamprey as they are parastic.
