(a) Amplitude sweep of hagfish slime (G′ left and G″ right) at varying concentrations (0.01 to 0.08 wt%, 0.01 wt% being the natural slime concentration) at a fixed angular frequency of ω = 1 rad/s. (b) Amplitude sweep (G′ left and G″ right) of five averaged measurements of hagfish slime (0.02 wt% being the natural concentration), hagfish mucin (0.0026 wt% being the natural mucin concentration), and seawater as a reference at a fixed angular frequency of ω = 1 rad/s. (c) In oscillation and simple shear the rheological properties of hagfish slime were measured with a Couette geometry.
