Memoirs of Museum Victoria 67:15-18.

Also, the fact that this species are taken with hook and line suggests that it is carnivorous. Individuals probably rest on their substantial pelvic fins waiting for potential prey to come to them, a behaviour common to a number of other members of the order (Ref. 86263).
