What is the sea lamp?

Sea Lamprey is a kind of parasitic fish that lives along the Atlantic coast. These animals look a bit like eels and are generally brown with lighter shade on their underside. They have a skeleton based on cartilage like a shark and the average adult will be about 2.5 feet long (0.7 meters). They live on the blood of other fish by holding them like leeches. They can live either in fresh or salty water and in certain environments are often considered pests.

This fish has many rows of very sharp teeth, but does not have a fully formed jaw. The mouth is generally designed for suction, which helps the sea lamp to stay on the fish on which it is built. This suction is generally strong enough to maintain the sea lamps attached to both the larger species of the ocean and with smaller fish that occur in rivers and lakes.

compared to many fish, the sea lampy has a relatively unusual life cycle. The first few years of life, it's almost like another animal. For one thing they are much smaller and are a napIt blinds. They generally remain approximately four years in this way. Then their bodies change and quickly develop their appearance for adults. In general, young lamps live in fresh water and adults live in the sea, except when they are reproduced.

Many experts think that the sea lamps will take quite robust tolls on the fish population in the environments where they prevail. In smaller fish, they are probably often fatal, and when the fish survives the attacked lamps, it is likely that they can develop more slowly and end in being smaller because they lose nutrients on the lamps. This ability of the seabeling lamprey to attack fish has made them unpopular with commercial fishermen to their extent.

Lampreys are particularly unpopular among Fishermen in freshwater environments because these areas have fragile ecosystems. The large lamp population can significantly thin the number of fish in the lake or river environment and in many areasH There were attempts to thinner the seafood population using various techniques and poisons. One of the methods of controlling Lamprey was the release of sterilized male lamps into a breeding environment that can potentially reduce the number of new lamps born every year. Lampreys generally come into fresh water only for reproductive purposes and sterile men are released before the population arrives in a seasonal basis.
