Longitud en la primera madurez / Tamaño / Peso / Edad
Madurez: Lm 52.0, range 45 - 55 cm
Max length : 90.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 1371); common length : 55.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 9258)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Espinas anales: 0. Nostrils anterior to eye by about one-third of snout length. Pyloric caeca 6 to 8. Color reddish pink becoming paler ventrally, vertical fins with dark margins; a dark black blotch on the pectoral fin base.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Found usually on soft muddy or sandy bottoms. Also on rocky bottoms, in estuaries, bays and continental shelf (Ref. 9563). In New Zealand, most abundant in 200 to 300 m along the edge of the continental shelf. May be found at depths exceeding 700 m (Ref. 9258). Feeds primarily on fishes, cephalopods, crabs and other crustaceans. Utilized as frozen fillets as well as fish blocks; eaten steamed, fried, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988).
