Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Introductions | Faunafri
Indo-West Pacific: southern India and Sri Lanka to the Philippines, south to northern Australia and Papua New Guinea (Ref. 6192).
Found in the continental shelf (Ref. 7300, 75154). Rarely observed due to mud-preferred habitats (Ref. 48635). Benthic (Ref. 75154). Not fished commercially but taken incidentally throughout its range. Usually caught near shore. Marketed fresh occasionally (Ref. 3392).

Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5234 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (-0.16711 - 0.17489), b=3.12 (3.03 - 3.21), based on all LWR estimates for this BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.5 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (16 of 100) .
