Genetic analysis (i.e., DNA sequence data from the mitochondrial cytochrome b and cytochrome oxidase subunit I genes) confirms the presence of Lethenteron appendix (American Brook Lamprey) in Shorey's Brook, a small stream located in the towns of Eliot and South Berwick, ME. This study documents the easternmost record of this species in New England, and the first known occurrence of the American Brook Lamprey in Maine.
