sharp teeth
Lampreys are jawless fish known for their eel-like appearance and circular mouth filled with sharp teeth. They are sometimes referred to as "eel-like fish" due to their long, slender bodies and lack of jaws.
Lampreys aren´t a class, they´re a separate species. But yes, they are motile, they swim freely - that is, until they attach themselves to a fish host with their mouths and start scraping off flesh with their tongue. But they can let go and swim away whenever they want.
they have sharp teeth which clings onto the prey and starts to dig a eat parts of the fish. so lampreys are parasirtes
A lamprey (sometimes also called lamprey eel) is a parasitic marine/aquatic animal with a toothed, funnel-like sucking mouth. Translated directly, their name means stone lickers (lambere: to lick, and petra: stone). While lampreys are well known for those species which bore into the flesh of other fish to suck their blood, these species make up the minority. In zoology, lampreys are often not considered to be true fish because of their vastly different morphology and physiology.

Yes, because lampreys are jawless fishes with tooth, funnel-like sucking mouth. While lampreys are well known for those species which bore into the flesh of other fish to suck their blood, these species make up the minority.
Sea lampreys are fish.
They would be considered predators as they live off other fish species by rasping flesh and consuming the oozing blood .
The biological vector of lampreys is fish. Lampreys typically attach themselves to the bodies of fish using their sucker-like mouthparts, and feed on the blood and bodily fluids of the host fish.
Yes, lampreys are cartilaginous fish.
No, lampreys are a cartilaginous fish, and being made of cartilage, they have no bones.

Sea lampreys do not typically attack humans. They are parasitic fish that feed on the blood of other fish, not humans.

Lampreys do not typically attack humans. They are parasitic fish that feed on the blood of other fish, but they are not known to target humans as prey.
This would seem to describe the hagfish and lampreys. The description fails by saying that they resemble fish. Hagfish and lampreys are classified as jawless fish. They are fish, none-the-less.
