Biology
The Ukrainian brook lamprey reaches a maximum length of 22 cm. It inhabits the mountain and foothill bodies of water containing clear water with strong currents. It is a non-parasitic lamprey. They are preyed on by chub and other species during spawning, which takes place on gravel and sand substrates.
