Lampreys reproduce through a process called spawning, which typically occurs in freshwater environments. During the breeding season, adult lampreys migrate upstream to suitable spawning sites. The females lay eggs in nests created by both sexes, and males fertilize the eggs externally. After spawning, adult lampreys usually die, and the eggs hatch into larvae, known as ammocoetes, which live in sediment for several years before metamorphosing into adults.
