Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Cultured and released for fishery in Japan. The species prefers relative warm water, high salinity, and rocky shores. The species does seasonal offshore-inshore migrations in limited areas (Ref. 34104).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). A couple ascends quickly to the surface and spawns (Ref. 34104).
