4368:: Little is understood about hagfish reproduction due to their deep-sea habitat and the challenge this places on collecting embryos and observing behavior. Hagfish eggs are among the largest of those lain by sea-dwelling vertebrates. They posses velcro like hooks on both ends. The number of egg lain depends on the species. Hagfish testis have been observed to be incredibly small, and their sperm count limited. The amount of mature males recorded in some deep-sea hagfish populations are also very limited. There are three hypotheses based on the observation of the low percentage of males and small tests for deep-sea hagfish fertilization, but there is no direct evidence to support any one of theme. 1) Female hagfish lay eggs in small crevices in rock formations. 2) The eggs are laid in burrow beneath the sand. 3) The slime produced by the hagfish is used to hold the eggs in a small area. Dead-sea surveying equipment has been unable to detect eggs on the ocean floor. 797:, and the caudal fin rays. The first diagram of the hagfish endoskeleton was made by Frederick Cole in 1905. In Cole's monograph, he described sections of the skeleton that he termed "pseudo-cartilage", referring to its distinct properties compared to jawed chordates. The lingual apparatus of hagfish is composed of a cartilage base bearing two teeth-covered plates (dental plate) articulated with a series of large cartilage shafts. The nasal capsule is considerably expanded in hagfish, comprising a fibrous sheath lined with cartilage rings. In contrast to lampreys, the braincase is noncartilaginous. The role of the branchial arches is highly speculative, as hagfish embryos undergo a caudal shift of the posterior pharyngeal pouches; thus, the branchial arches do not support gills. While parts of the hagfish skull are thought to be homologous with lampreys, they are thought to have very few homologous elements with jawed vertebrates. 779:, and the caudal fin rays.

diverged from one another during the Paleozoic period. An experiment used an estimation of synonymous and nonsynonymous substitutions for nucleotides and supplemented that data with pre-existing data into a clock that would calculate divergence times for the taxons Myxine and Eptratus. This data found that the lineage diverged around 93-28 Mya. Hagfish are excluded from the group gnathostomes because of morphological characteristics including the Hagfish arched tongue. Hagfish embryos have characteristics of gnathostomes and may be pleisomorphic, however these characteristics drastically change morphologically as the Hagfish matures The following hagfish and lamprey phylogeny is an adaptation based on the 2006 work by Shigeru Kuratani and Shigehiro Kuraku:

It is unclear how hagfish go about laying eggs, although researchers have proposed three hypotheses based on observations of the low percentage of males and small testis. The hypotheses are that female hagfish lay eggs in small crevices in rock formations, the eggs are laid in burrow beneath the sand, and the slime produced by the hagfish is used to hold the eggs in a small area. It is worth noting that no direct evidence has been found to support any of these hypotheses. Hagfish do not have a 3615:-like tufts at either end.

In some cases that is actually a good thing because the page has been neglected for a long time. Your objective for next week is to create a working draft and this group is already well on its way. The one thing I encourage you to do is make sure that you are cross-checking for other articles that may be covering the topics you are all interested in Good work!

3333:(only one gamete production organ is in both females and males). In some cases, the ovary is thought to remain nonfunctional until the individual has reached a particular age or encounters a particular environmental stress. These two factors in combination suggest the survival rate of hagfish is quite high. 4626:

I love how you are all drafting in your own sandbox first, using links AND adding citations and then adding to the group sandbox.
