Hagfish and lampreys are apart of Agnatha which means jawless fish. Hagfish are a parasite fish but can be free swimming. Both jawless fish will feed on carcasses on the bottom of the seafloor.

Do lamprey eels and hagfish feed on other fish?

Lamprey eels are parasitic and feed on the blood and tissues of other fish by attaching to them with their suction-cup mouths. In contrast, hagfish are scavengers that primarily feed on dead or dying fish, as they lack jaws and instead use their slime-producing capabilities to access the insides of carcasses. While both have unique feeding strategies, neither actively hunts healthy fish like many other predators do.


Give you some example of jawless fish?

Most fish are not jawless. There is a small group of very primitive fish called Jawless fish (Agnatha). However, they make up a very small proportion (<1%) of the fish species on earth. Jawless fish are things like lamprey and hagfish. All other fish, like trout, salmon, tuna, sharks, rays, cichlids, goldfish, etc, etc, have jaws. See the related link for more information on the primitive jawless fish.
