The lamprey eel has a jawless, round mouth with many teeth in concentric rows. It makes its initial attachment using suction which draws the mouth tight to its prey allowing the many teeth to penetrate. This attaches it firmly and it then feeds off the blood of the prey.
Pacific lamprey are not typically known to kill fish. They are parasitic feeders that attach themselves to other fish to feed on their bodily fluids. While this parasitic behavior may weaken the host fish, it is not common for the lamprey to directly kill the host fish.
Sea lamprey are a problem because they are parasitic fish that attach themselves to other fish by using their suction-cup like mouths to draw blood and body fluids. This weakens and can even kill the host fish, which can have negative impacts on fish populations and ecosystems.
The lampreys and remora do not share a class. While both are symbiotes (both can attach to another fish), the lamprey is a parasite, while the remora is a commensalist scavenger, who may even aid the larger host. A lamprey is a jawless fish; the remora is an ordinary fish with an extraordinary attribute.
tapeworms may attach to host humans in their intestines. They constantly take in nutrients and the host is left tired hungry and sick.
they will cling on to it like a leech. it has almost 120 sharp teeth that become embedded into the flesh of the fish. the fish just ignores it and does its normal routine. after a while, the lamprey will start to drain the fish of its blood, and will soon leave the fish with noe left and leaves it to die. there are no recorded actions of a lamprey feeding off of a human.

Lamprey, hagfish suck body fluids from the host fish after rasping a hole in the side of the body.

Parasitic flatworms have to have a host. A free-living one doesn't.

The animal is the "host".
An adult tapeworm uses its scolex to chew through the tissue of the organism its living in.
Yes, there have been documented cases of lampreys biting humans, although these incidents are rare. Lampreys are known to be parasitic and may mistake a human for a suitable host, resulting in a bite.
