Etymology: Caspiomyzon: Caspio, from the Caspian Sea basin, where C. wagneri is endemic; myzon (Gr.), to suck (borrowed from Petromyzon), referring to their suctorial behavior. (See ETYFish); graecus: Latin word for Greek, derived from Graeci, a tribe of Hellenes living since Prehistoric times in area where this lamprey occurs. (See ETYFish).

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics
Eudontomyzon graecus is distinguished from its European congeners by possessing the following character states: nonparasitic mode of life; adults with large, blunt labial teeth covering all fields in a pavement-like arrangement; one or more bicuspid teeth in the first anterial row; two or more bicuspid teeth in the first posterial row; 7-11 teeth on the infraoral lamina; endolateral formula, 2-2-2; 2-5 velar tentacles without wings; ammocoetes and adults with 53-61 trunk myomeres; rounded caudal fin; relatively longer tail length against TL; ammocoetes with relatively shorter trunk length against TL; weakly pigmented (i.e., +) upper lip; unpigmented tongue precursor bulb; unpigmented areas lateral to the tongue precursor elastic ridge (Ref. 84195).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00123 (0.00055 - 0.00276), b=3.00 (2.81 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Subfamily-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): (0 of 100) .
