This sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, was given to me to photograph by charter boat owner Richard Seager who was fishing for bass, Dicentrarchus labrax, on his boat, Out of Blue. This lamprey was attached to a bass when it was captured.  It was photographed in my aquarium and then returned to the sea.

This small sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, was captured while attached to a bass, Dicentrarchus labrax, by Guernsey commercial fisherman Steve Fallaize on 13 January 2007.  I took this picture when I released the lamprey back into the sea.  It was released into a tide pool in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast on the 5 February 2007.  Towards the end of April 2007 a spear fisherman caught a grey mullet in Belle Greve Bay with a lamprey attached to it.  The lamprey was about the same size as the one released.  The spear fishermen removed the lamprey from the grey mullet and the lamprey swam away quickly.
