Discussion
- ASSUMPTION: reproduction is once per year
- The only measured rate in the data below is the respiration rate
- blood volume = 18% of total body weight, 3 times higher than other fish (LessMart96)
Facts
- No evidence of spawning or reprod-cycle synchronisation. Larger females do not produce larger eggs. Females are much more abundant (99:1), might be a result of catching method. Initially both male and female gonad develop, then one of them reduces. Hermaphrodites are rare (0.2-0.3 percent). Male and female mature at same size. Reduction in L_p, W_p with reduction in average ind in the pop (DEB interpretation is: k_J < k_M) (Ref: GranBish2009)
- "On the southwest slope of the Grand Bank, Atlantic hagfish are not captured in shallow sub-zero waters and appear to concentrate (greatest catches) within the warmest (5.8-9.0 C) available bottom waters which occur within depths of 125-400 m." (Ref: GranBish2009a)
- "There is no known method of aging hagfish however a recent review of conceptual models of hagfish fishery science and management suggested growth may approximate 20 mm/year" (Ref: MartGran2007)
