AVON, N.Y. (AP) — New York state is taking steps to control the population of parasitic sea lampreys around Seneca Lake to protect other fish species.

The state’s Department of Environmental Conservation says that next week it will begin treating tributaries of Seneca Lake with a chemical that kills lamprey larva but is harmless to most other aquatic wildlife.
