I dont think that they either spawn successfully or recruit in any numbers to be a problem.

It always coincided with high tide in the early hours of the morning and one of my theories was that this might have been when the lampreys were migrating up river and the catfish were grabbing them near the surface. If catfish were responsible, there was certainly more than just one of them. English as tuppence, changeless as canal water, nestling in green nowhere, armoured and effete, bold flag-bearer, lotus-fed Miss Havishambling, hermit-crab, tight-fist, eremite, feudal still, reactionary Rawlinson End.
