Features
Trivia Historians tell the story of Roman Caesars ordering the transport of live lamprey from Arbo to Italy. There is evidence of this species from the 12th century, but it is possible it is from much earlier. Lamprey is fished traditionally with the help of stone structures called ‘pesqueiras’ and cone-shaped nets, which are used to avoid blood loss.- Descripción del entorno: Urban
