Lethenteron reissneri

Species of jawless fish

Lethenteron reissneri, the Far Eastern brook lamprey, is a species lamprey. Immature L reissneri are parasitic, but shift to a non-parasitic feeding strategy upon reaching maturity.[1] It is found in lakes and rivers in China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and the Russian Far East.[2] It may be identical to the Siberian brook lamprey, Lethenteron kessleri, but molecular evidence suggests they are cryptic species.[3]
