1.large anadromous lamprey sometimes used as food; destructive of native fish fauna in the Great Lakes.
有时被食用的淡水产卵的大鳗鱼；北美五大湖本地鱼类区系的破坏者。
2.Phylogenetic analysis showed that the ELR motif in mammalian may be typical evolved for chemotactic special cell from the ancient IL8.It is absent in lamprey and only has substitution in piscine IL-8.
而哺乳类的ELR结构可能为IL-8在进化过程中特化而成的结构,以加强IL-8特异性的趋化能力。
3.Lamprey was one kind of animal in the class Cyclostomata.
七鳃鳗隶属于圆口纲，是一类因营半寄生生活而引发机体显著特化的动物。
4.The tree built from the 26 apolipoprotein sequences by above method clearly shows:(1) The common ancestor of ApoA-I ApoA-II,ApoA-IV,ApoE may appear 460 million years ago in an ordovician vertebrate which may be related with the major apolipoprotein LAL 1 and LAL2 in Lamprey from the evidence of sequence alignment;
进一步对本文10个种属共26种载脂蛋白的系统演化作了实际分析，结果提示：①ApoA－I、ApoA－IV，ApoE及ApoA－II的共同祖先可能在奥陶纪水生脊椎动物中就已存在（460百万年前），其共同祖先似与七鳃鳗体内的主要载脂蛋白LAL1和LAL2有关；
5.A kidneylike organ, being either part of the most anterior pair of three pairs of organs in a vertebrate embryo, disappearing early in the embryonic development of higher vertebrates, but functioning as a kidney in some simple vertebrates, such as the lamprey.
前肾，原肾一肾状器官，是脊椎动物胚胎中三对器官最前面一对的一部分，在高级脊椎动物的早期发育时消失，但在一些初级脊椎动物中作为肾脏，如八目鳗
6.Any of several similar fishes, such as the lamprey and electric eel.
任一种类似鱼类，如八目鳗和电鳗
7.Any of various primitive eellike vertebrates of the class Agnatha, such as a lamprey, lacking jaws and true teeth and having a circular, sucking mouth.
圆口纲脊椎动物一种类似鳗鱼的无颚纲原始脊椎动物，如盲鳗，没有下颚和真正的牙齿，而长着圆形吮吸的嘴
