Ecology
Benthopelagic; depth range 20 - 850 m (Ref. 275). Tropical; 9°C - 18°C (Ref. 417); 73°N - 44°S, 18°W - 155°E
Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean and Indo-West Pacific. Tropical to temperate.
Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm 18.8, range 20 - ? cm Max length : 22.0 cm ML male/unsexed; (Ref. 104052); 29 cm ML (female); common length : 13.0 cm ML male/unsexed; (Ref. 275); common length :20 cm ML (female)
Maximum depth from Ref. 122892. Neritic (Ref. 90638). Pelagic (Ref. 122890), demersal (Ref. 122892). Mainly lives in the lower sublittoral and upper bathyal over the continental shelf, associated with sandy and muddy bottoms. More abundant in highly productive areas around the shelf break. Frequents the upper slope of regions with steep slopes (Ref. 122892). Also found in the slope. Voracious opportunistic predator (Ref. 90638). Feeds on teleosts, crustaceans, squids and gastropods (Ref. 107051).
