We report an observation of a Petromyzon marinus (Sea Lamprey) adhering to a Prionace glauca (Blue Shark) in pelagic waters off Rhode Island. We compare our observation of lamprey adhesion to previously published accounts of lamprey parasitism on sharks and aspects of interactions between lampreys and elasmobranchs that warrant further study.
