Etymology: Myxine: Ancient Greek word for a slimy fish: myxa, slime; -inus, one who, referring to copious amounts of slime produced by M. glutinosa. (See ETYFish); kuoi: In honor of molecular biologist Chien-Hsien Kuo, National Chiayi University (Taiwan), for his contributions to hagfish taxonomy. (See ETYFish).

Short description
Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Teeth 2-cusp multicusps on the anterior and posterior sets of cusps. Inner dorsal surface of the nasal sinus near the apex with a single medial small papilla. Gill pouches 6 pairs (Ref. 43102).
Minimum depth from Ref. 58018.
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Αβγά | Γονιμότητα | Προνύμφες
Copulatory organ absent. The gonads of hagfishes are situated in the peritoneal cavity. The ovary is found in the anterior portion of the gonad, and the testis is found in the posterior part. The animal becomes female if the cranial part of the gonad develops or male if the caudal part undergoes differentiation. If none develops, then the animal becomes sterile. If both anterior and posterior parts develop, then the animal becomes a functional hermaphrodite. However, hermaphroditism being characterised as functional needs to be validated by more reproduction studies (Ref. 51361 ).
