Max length : 18.0 cm TL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 9913); common length : 20.0 cm TL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 114953)
Found in continental waters, both inshore and offshore (Ref. 9913). Mainly feeds on crustaceans and polychaetes (Ref. 114953). Biology little known (Ref. 9913) but reported to produce 4-6 young each gestation (Ref. 114953). Adult males and females known at 15 cm TL; common size reported to reach 35 cm TL (Ref. 114953). The electric organs present on disc are used to stun the prey.
