A new species of the hagfish genus Eptatretus (Myxinidae) from the Bahamas, western North Atlantic
Abstract A new species of the hagfish genus Eptatretus (Myxinidae) is described based on two specimens (407–433 mm total length) collected off the northern Bahamas, between depths of 910 and 1153 m. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by having seven pairs of gill apertures well‐spac...
