The lamprey uses its disk-shaped mouth and sharp teeth to fasten onto fish and suck out their bodily fluids. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a sea lamprey will destroy up to 40 pounds of fish during its parasitic adult stage. Fish and Wildlife will be surveying the St. Clair River from May 20 to June 26, 2014 to estimate the sea lamprey population in the river. (AP Photo/John Flesher, File)
