The consistency of the substrate is vitally important to the Southern brook lamprey because during the larval stage, the lamprey burrows into the substrate using its oral disk as an anchor. [10] The southern brook lamprey secretes mucus from its body to form a tube leading to the entrance of the burrow and to provide support for the burrow. [10]

The brook lamprey is a common, non-parasitic species that is endemic to Europe. [1] Adult brook lampreys measure from 12 to 14 cm (4.7 to 5.5 in). The body is highly elongated and dark blue or greenish above, lightening to yellowish off-white on the sides and pure white on the ventral side.
The eggs of the American brook lamprey (ABL) are white, sticky, and small, measuring about 1 mm (0.04 in). When they hatch, the embryos are small as well, measuring less than 5 mm (0.20 in); they are white and wormlike. Within a month they take on the larval appearance.

The western brook lamprey and river lamprey have been considered a clade separate from the other western U.S. lamprey species. [12] However, more recent genetic research suggests the western brook lamprey would be better categorized as a member of a Lampetra ayresii species complex. [11] Additional research that crossbred river lamprey and ...
