There are a few synonyms for the sea lamprey, including the great sea lamprey, the sea lamprey eel, and the lamprey eel. Although it is often referred to as an eel, the sea lamprey is actually not a true eel. It has a unique cylindrical body with a sucker-like mouth filled with sharp teeth that it uses to attach to other fish to feed on their blood and bodily fluids. Despite being considered a nuisance species in some areas due to its parasitic behavior, the sea lamprey has an important role in the ecosystem as a predator and prey item.
