The pouched lamprey (Geotria australis) also known as wide-mouthed lamprey, is the only species in genus Geotria, which is in turn the only genus in the family Geotriidae. It is native to the southern hemisphere. It spends the early part of its life in fresh water, migrating to the sea as adult, and returning to fresh water to spawn and die.
