The hagfishes comprise a uniform group of some 60 species
inhabiting the cool or deep parts of the oceans of both
hemispheres. They are considered the most primitive representatives
of the group of craniate chordates, which - apart from the
hagfishes that show no traces of verte brae -includes all
vertebrate animals. Consequently the hagfishes have played and
still playa central role in discussions concerning the evolution of
the vertebrates. Although most of the focus on hagfishes may be the
result of their being primitive, it should not be forgotten that,
at the same time, they are specialized animals with a unique way of
life that is interesting in its own right. It is now more than 30
years since a comprehensive treatise on hagfishes was published.
The Biology of Myxine, edited by Alf Brodal and Ragnar Fange
(Universitetsforlaget, Oslo, 1963), provided a wealth of
information on the biology of hagfishes, and over the years
remained a major source of information and inspiration to students
of hagfishes."
