Myxini (pirålar) (hagfishes) > Myxiniformes (Hagfishes) > Myxinidae (Hagfishes) > Myxininae
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); phantasma: Greek for ghost, referring to its transparent skin, the only species of Myxine known to lack melanin-based pigments. (See ETYFish).

Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

This species is distinguished from all its congeners, except M. debueni, M. fernholmi, M. garmani by having six pairs of gill pouches and a 3/2 multicusp pattern of teeth; differs from these congeners by the number of prebranchial pores 18-24 (vs. 27-29 in M. garmani); trunk pores 64-75 (vs. 76 in M. debueni, 80-83 in M. fernholmi, 52-61 in M. garmani); tail pores 6-10 (vs. 12-13 in M. garmani); total pores 90-106 (vs. 113-121 in M. fernholmi); with two bilaterally symmetrical nasal-sinus papillae in the dorsal surface of the nasal sinus (vs. one single nasal-sinus papilla in M. debueni); a totally unpigmented body, which makes its skin transparent in live specimens, a unique character not described for any other species of Myxine (Ref. 123790).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
