A new species of eel-like fish has been discovered in the rivers of California. A study by the University of California, Davis, published in the North American Journal of Fisheries Management, has found two new species of lamprey, a type of ancient fish.
Lamprey is a type of boneless blood-sucking fish, which can be distinguished by its long and tooth-filled mouth. This species does not have a jaw and has been around for more than 350 million years. Although this species can be found in many states, the discovery of two new species in California indicates that their distribution is broader there.
"We found an unprecedented diversity. We found two groups of fish in the Napa River and Alameda River that are genetically very different from other samples along the West Coast. These are groups of fish that have not been extensively studied."

The translated text with preserved HTML tags is: "The newly discovered species are part of the Lampetra genus. Both the Lampetra genus and the Entosphenus genus are classified as "of special concern" in the state. They face several threats, including habitat degradation and water pollution."
This research can help provide information about the population and distribution of species so that biologists can better protect those species. Forests are very important for local ecosystems and food chains. Fish larvae feed on algae and other organic matter in the water, which helps filter and clean it. Without those species, water quality will decrease.
