This contribution provides summary information on the historical and contemporary significance of lampreys for human life. The unusual to bizarre appearance of lampreys initially posed a problem for zoologists to correctly classify lampreys in the zoological system. In certain places, lampreys are used as bait in sport fishing, and a total of seven species are fished extensively for gastronomic purposes in Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia. New information about role of lampreys in human gastronomy was obtained by studying historical sources from Central Europe, especially from the region of Bohemia. The first specific cooking recipes have been preserved from the turn of the 15th and 16th Centuries. Instructions for cooking lampreys were mentioned by Georg Handsch von Limus, Paulus de Praga, Jan Severin the Younger and Pavel Severin of Kapí mountain. The quality of their meat is excellent, however, the slime and serum are poisonous, so there are known historical data about probable poisoning after their consumption. At present, lampreys are routinely available fresh, fried, smoked, marinated, canned or in vinegar. Lampreys play an important role in the culture and folklore of some nations. For example, lampreys are ecologically and culturally important for the North American Indian tribes of Yurok and Karuk.. The Pacific lamprey is also of spiritual significance for these tribes. The enormous esteem people have for lampreys is also reflected in the various coats of arms, in which the lamprey appears. Cooking skills and traditions are practiced at various public festivals where lampreys are caught and immediately consumed after cooking (e.g., Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal, Spain). Lampreys have become an important model group in evolutionary studies of vertebrate development, and due to their remarkable properties, they are also used in biomedical research. Lampreys can be used for long-term bioindication of water environment, but their larvae are not a suitable bioindicator of short-term water quality worsening (see research results from the Czech Republic). Based on the analysis of the lamprey’s specific method of swimming, biologists and engineers created a biomimetic robot with an electronic nervous system that imitated the movement and orientation of lampreys in the water. Nevertheless, there is also an example of the harmful effect of lampreys, namely the parasitic sea lamprey, which causes significant damage to economically important fish in the Great Lakes, requiring a yearly implementation of financially expensive measures to eliminate the lamprey.
