Asian Hagfishes and their Fisheries Biology

  • Chapter

Summary

The classification and distribution of 13 species of Asian hagfishes, consisting of two species of Myxine, three of Eptatretus and eight of Pammyxine, are reviewed. The occurrence of Eptatretus chinensis Kuo and Mok (1994) in the South China Sea is noticed. The recent decline of hagfishery on the Pacific coast of Japanese Islands, probably due to overfishing, is discussed.
