A jawless fish, which lays eggs in fresh water and whose ammocoetes larvae after metamorphosis return to the ocean is

  1. Neomyxine
  2. Petromyzon
  3. Eptatretus
  4. Myxine

Answer

(2) Petromyzon

Solution

As per NCERT, cyclostomes (jawless vertebrates) are marine but migrate for spawning to fresh water; after spawning, within a few days, they die. Their larvae, after metamorphosis, return to the ocean. Examples: Petromyzon (Lamprey) and Myxine (Hagfish).

⇒ This anadromous life history with an ammocoetes larva is shown by the lamprey Petromyzon; hagfishes ( Myxine, Eptatretus, Neomyxine) live and breed in the sea and have direct development.
