Lifespan, ageing, and relevant traits

Observations

In many lampreys, lifespan is short and death occurs after first spawning [0523]. Some species can be longer lived, but compared to other animal taxa lampreys are generally considered short-lived. Adult body weight in lampreys is usually inferred from maximum weight and hence it should not be interpreted as an accurate value.
