Eptatretus springeri, the Gulf hagfish,[3] is a bathydemersal vertebrate which lives primarily in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico.[4] It has been observed feeding at and around brine pools: areas of high salinity which resemble lakes on the ocean floor that do not mix with the surrounding water due to difference in density. The high salt content, approximately 200 ppt compared to 35 ppt for standard seawater, creates a buoyant surface which renders oceanic submersibles unable to descend into the pool. It is believed that the inside of the pools only supports microbial life, while the majority of macroscopic life, such as methane-utilizing mussels, exists on the edges.[5] The Gulf hagfish feeds on the primary producers of these environments, as well as other predators.[5]
