Habitat
Adult silver lampreys prefer the clear waters of large streams, rivers, and lakes. Adults migrate to nest in flowing water that has stoney or gravelly bottom material. The larvae, when they hatch, move to slow flow areas initially with thick organic layers, as they grow in size they begin to migrate to sandy environments where they will reside until they reach metamorphosis.
