Lamprey
Lampreys (sometimes inaccurately called lamprey eels) are a group of Agnatha, jawless fish comprising the order (biology), order Petromyzontiformes , sole order in the Class (biology), class Petromyzontida. The adult lamprey is characterized by a toothed, funnel-like sucking mouth. The common name "lamprey" is probably derived from Latin , which may mean "stone licker" ( "to lick" + "stone"), though the etymology is uncertain. "Lamprey" is sometimes seen for the plural form. About 38 extant species of lampreys are known, with around seven known extinct species. They are classified in three families—two small families in the Southern Hemisphere (Geotriidae, Mordaciidae) and one large family in the Northern Hemisphere (Petromyzontidae). Genetic evidence suggests that lampreys are more closely related to hagfish, the only other living group of jawless fish, than they are to jawed vertebrates, forming the superclass Cyclostomi. The oldest fossils of stem-group lampreys are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Petromyzon Marinus
The sea lamprey (''Petromyzon marinus'') is a parasitic lamprey native to the Northern Hemisphere. It is sometimes referred to as the "vampire fish". It was likely introduced to the Great Lakes region through the Erie Canal in 1825 and the Welland Canal in 1919 where it has attacked native fish such as lake trout, lake whitefish, chub, and lake herring. Sea lampreys are considered a pest in the Great Lakes region as each individual has the potential of killing 40 pounds of fish through its 12–18 month feeding period. Description The sea lamprey has an eel-like body without paired fins. Its mouth is jawless, round and sucker-like, and as wide or wider than the head; sharp teeth are arranged in many concentric circular rows around a sharp, rasp-like tongue. There are seven branchial or gill-like openings behind the eye. Sea lampreys are olive or brown-yellow on the dorsal and lateral part of the body, with some black marblings, with lighter coloration on the belly. Within ...

Caspiomyzon
''Caspiomyzon'' is a genus of lamprey in the family Petromyzontidae. They are native to Eastern Europe and parts of Western and Central Asia. Two of the three species in the genus are endemic to Greece. Taxonomy Species There are currently three recognized species in this genus: * '' Caspiomyzon graecus'' (Renaud & Economidis, 2010) (validity doubtful, may be junior synonym of ''C. hellenicus'') * '' Caspiomyzon hellenicus'' ( Vladykov, Renaud, Kott & Economidis), 1982 (Greek brook lamprey) * '' Caspiomyzon wagneri'' ( Kessler, 1870) (Caspian lamprey) This was formerly considered a monotypic genus containing only ''C. wagneri'', but phylogenetic studies suggest that ''hellenicus'' and ''graecus'', formerly placed in '' Eudontomyzon'', also belong to this genus. Evolution Phylogenetic studies indicate that they are the most basal members of the family Petromyzontidae, and their lineage diverged from the other genera in the family ('' Petromyzon'' and '' Ichthyomyzon ...
