Sea lampreys are primitive fish native to the Atlantic Ocean. ... Lacking jaws, their round mouths form a sucking disk filled with sharp, horn-shaped teeth that surround a rasping tongue. Unlike most fish, a lamprey's body has cartilage but no bones, scale less skin, no paired fins, no lateral line, and no swim bladder. ... They attach to fish with their suction mouth and teeth, and use their tongue to rasp through a fish's scales and skin so they can feed on its blood and body fluids.

OBS

A fish of the family Petromyzontidae.
