The Arctic lamprey is a commercially important edible fish with fatty flesh. It is reared in aquaculture. [4] The ammocoetes are used as bait. Threats to the spawning habitat of this species include pollution and the regulation of water flow by damming. Nevertheless, the IUCN has assessed this species as being of "Least Concern". [1]
The sea is the habitat of over 1,000 invertebrate species and 200 soft and hard corals and is the world's most northern tropical sea. The Red Sea is a rich and diverse ecosystem. More than 1100 species of fish [33] have been recorded in the Red Sea, and around 10% of these are found nowhere else. [34]
The surface is utilised by a wide range of species, from various fish and cetaceans, to species that ride on ocean debris (termed rafters). [34] [35] [36] Most prominently, the surface is home to a unique community of free-living organisms, termed neuston (from the Greek word, υεω, which means both to swim and to float.

Most oceanic species (78 per cent, or 44 per cent of all fish species), live near the shoreline. These coastal fish live on or above the relatively shallow continental shelf. Only 13 per cent of all fish species live in the open ocean, off the shelf. Of these, 1 per cent are epipelagic, 5 per cent are pelagic, and 7 per cent are deep water. [16]
