<div>In my previous message I gave the scientific names:</div> <div> </div> <div>Pteromyzon fluviatilis for "lamprey (eel)";</div> <div>Pteromyzon marinus for "sucker fish".</div> <div> </div> <div>Subsequently I found that the river lamprey is also called scientifically Lampetra fluviatilis.</div> <div>It seems to me that Pteromyzon fluviatilis is an alternative or old name for Lampetra fluviatilis. In any case, both species are belonging to the Pteromyzontidae family ("Lamprey family").</div> <div>On the other hand, Pteromyzon fluviatilis or Lampetra fluviatilis refers in fact to the European river lamprey.</div> <div>(North-)American river lamprey species are Lampetra aepyptera (= Ammocoeles aepypterus), Lampetra alaskensis, Lampetra appendix and maybe others. I don't know wich of these is the "i-skakwal" of the Chinookan and the "skakwal" of the Chinookan Jargon speakers.</div> <div> </div> <div>The sucker or sucker-fish (Pteromyzon marinus) is
also called sea lamprey.</div> <div> </div> <div>Francisc<BR><BR></div><p>
