Lethenteron reissneri

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. It is found in lakes and rivers in China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and the Russian Far East. It may be identical to the Siberian brook lamprey, Lethenteron kessleri, but molecular evidence suggests they are cryptic species.
