Terry catches a ray-finned fish from the ocean and notices that, attached to its flank, there is an equally long, snakelike organism. The attached organism has no external segmentation, no scales, a round mouth surrounded by a sucker and two small eyes. Terry thinks it might be a marine leech, a hagfish, or a lamprey.
-Having caught and handled a hagfish, what will Terry's shipmates most likely require Terry to do before returning to further fishing?

B) Clean the bucketsful of hagfish slime from the deck of the boat.
C) Dispose of the fishing tackle that had been poisoned by coming into contact with the hagfish.
