Scale = Epaxial muscle insertion (Fig. 26A) In Macruronus epaxial musculature extends well forward to insert on the cranium above the posterior region of the orbit. Central section of the muscle bloc inserts along supraoccipital crest, its fibres forming an angle of 20° to it. Anterolaterally a separate muscle segment branches from main body, continues forward and inserts on the diagonal frontal ridge posterior and medial to orbit. Epaxial muscle covers dorsal posttemporal limb. In Merluccius epaxlalls inserts mostly along posterior.
