Les exigences en matière d’habitat varient selon le stade biologique de la lamproie : les adultes ont besoin d’eau douce s’écoulant dans le chenal principal et les chenaux latéraux; pour le frai et la construction de nid, il faut des eaux tranquilles avec de petits galets et du gravier; les ammocètes, quant à elles, ont besoin d’un limon meuble ou d’un substrat sablonneux pour s’enterrer. Au cours du frai, les nids construits par la lamproie [...] seraient considérés comme des résidences, car ces nids sont des gîtes discrets[;] les adultes des deux sexes déploient des efforts physiques pour déplacer les galets avec leur disque buccal [...] 1, record 1, French, - construction%20de%20nid
