Mountain Brook Lamprey

Ichthyomyzon greeleyi

About This Fish

The Mountain Brook Lamprey has a fragmented distribution across the entire Ohio River basin from Alabama to New York. Adults are found in small upland streams with gravel substrates, while larvae (ammocoetes) are found along banks in soft substrate. Mountain Brook Lampreys are non-parasitic, meaning they do not feed as adults and also do not have functional teeth on their oral disc.
