Southeast Atlantic: Atlantic coast from Morocco to the English Channel. Also known from the Mediterranean and Black Sea.
Found over hard bottoms. Mainly nocturnal, it feeds on small invertebrates. Oviparous (Ref. 205). Spawn in April (Marseille) or July (England); eggs are laid under mussel-shells or stones and guarded by the male (Ref. 5981).

Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01060 (-0.03436 - 0.05556), b=2.93 (2.90 - 2.96), based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.43 se; Based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (30 of 100) .
