	<dc:description>Freshwater. Ammocoetes live in silt, sand or fine pebble substrate in the middle and lower sections of rivers where the current is absent or slow, at water depths of 10-50 cm, among submerged plants (Rumex acetosella, Polygonum sp., Juncus sp.). Adults are also found in the same general habitat as both life stages are commonly caught together. Metamorphosis is believed to occur prior to mid-September when fully metamorphosed individuals were first caught. Adults are nonparasitic. The spawning period is undetermined (Ref. 89241)..</dc:description>

Velar tentacles, 7; the median one shorter than the adjacent lateral ones and the tentacles have tubercles on their dorsal aspect. There are no velar wings. Body coloration (live and freshly preserved) is gray on the dorsal aspect and lighter on the ventral aspect and without mottling. Dark blotch near apex of second dorsal fin. Lateral line neuromasts darkly pigmented on the ventral surface and prebranchial region in some individuals but unpigmented in others. Extent of caudal fin pigmentation, 1% to </dc:description>

	<dc:description>Ammocoetes are found in silt, sand or fine pebble sediment in sections with slow or no current, usually in the middle and low reaches of rivers, often in shallows at banks or backwaters at depths of about 10-50 cm, among submerged plants (Rumex acetosella, Polygonum sp., Juncus sp., Poaceae). In general, the abundance is relatively low, 1-8 (averaging 2) individuals per 100 m2, but in some localities in the Psou and Mzymta rivers there were up to 400 individuals of all sizes per 100 m2 (Ref. 82201).</dc:description>
