The Lampern is called Petromyzon Fluviatilis, becauſe this fiſh at certain ſeaſons goes to the ſea.

The Lampern, Lampetra fluviatilis, is white, with greenish back; it reaches a length of sixteen inches.

Lampetra fluviatilis (the lampern or river lamprey) undergoes a spawning migration in British rivers during the period between November and February, after which the animals spend from 4 to 6 months in fresh water prior to spawning.
