Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occur in deeper trawling grounds of the continental shelf and slope, close to the sea bed (Ref. 559). Caught by Japanese trawlers during winter (Ref. 559). Excellent food fish.

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

It is not known whether individuals undergo a single spawning or a series of spawnings over the winter months in southern Australia (Ref. 6390).
