An ancient fish that feeds ‘on blood, fluids and even chunks of flesh’ was thought to be extinct. But scientists in one state have noted a record comeback.

A study for the Department for Environment and Water recorded 91 pouched lamprey and four short-headed lamprey swimming from South Australia‘s Coorong through to the Murray River system between July and October last year.Lamprey were feared to be almost extinct after the Millennium Drought , which caused more than three years of disconnection of the Lower Murray river system.

However, a recently increased flow into the lower Murray system has allowed the living fossil to continue migrating.The ancient Lamprey fish are back in the Murray-Darling Basin. Supplied: Department for Water and Environment, SAThey have an oral disc with scary teeth, but are harmless to humans. Supplied: Department for Water and Environment, SAScientists such as Ms Rumbelow have fitted the lamprey with tags for tracking.

Adults range between 50cm and 70cm in length in freshwater situations and are larger than the short-headed lamprey.
