Review of the fisheries and biology of the Pacific hagfish (Eptatretus stoutii) in British Columbia, with recommendations for biological sampling in a developmental fishery / Karen D. Leask and Richard... : Fs70-1/1999-205E-PDF
A review of the biology of hagfish in general and Eptatretus stoutii in particular is presented. Hagfish are one of the most studied fishes in the laboratory, but one of the least studied in its natural environment. Food and commercial fisheries in Asia and North America are described and historical landings presented. The fishery and associated biological sampling program that took place in British Columbia from 1988 to 1992 is reviewed. Fishing hagfish at harvest levels similar to those in the earlier fishery are considered to be possible, provided adequate monitoring and assessment are carried out.
