Ekologi
marina bottenlevande; djupintervall 30 - 390 m (Ref. 6871). Temperate; 30°S - 44°S, 126°E - 154°E (Ref. 114953)
Eastern Indian Ocean: endemic to Australia (South Australia to New South Wales).
Length at first maturity / Size / Vikt / Age
Maturity: Lm 31.9, range 31 - 33 cm
Max length : 36.8 cm TL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 76878)
Occur over soft bottoms of the continental shelf (Ref. 7300, 75154). Oviparous. Distinct pairing with embrace. Young may tend to follow large objects, such as their mother (Ref. 205). Eggs are oblong capsules with stiff pointed horns at the corners deposited in sandy or muddy flats (Ref. 205). Egg capsules are 5.7 cm long and 3.8-4.4 cm wide (Ref. 41308). Both sexes reaches maturity at ca. 30-33 cm TL; hatch size at ca. 8 cm TL. Biology poorly known. Discarded bycatch of local trawl fisheries (Ref. 114953).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturities | Reproduktion | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larver
Oviparous, paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449). Distinct pairing with embrace. Young may tend to follow large objects, such as their mother (Ref. 205).
