And why not? Its role in the food chain includes chomping into the sides of fish and living on them as a parasite. The effects of its feeding, like the invasive lamprey itself, aren\u2019t pretty to look at either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of that notoriety, it\u2019s easy to overlook some of the other lamprey species that inhabit waters in the Great Lakes.
