Maturity: Lm 46.5 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 120 cm TL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 7251); common length : 90.0 cm TL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 3787); μεγ. δημοσιευμένο βάρος: 22.6 kg (Ref. 40637); μεγ. αναφερόμενη ηλικία: 30 έτη (Ref. 796)
Inhabits continental shelf, occurring deeper in southern parts of range (Ref 7251); tolerating a wide range of temperature (0-21°C) (Ref. 5951).
That testes seem to develop earlier and stay ripe longer suggest multiple spawning by males. Eggs are laid in long, ribbon-shaped veils (Ref. 4842).
