Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 18.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 9913); common length : 20.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 114953)

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in continental waters, both inshore and offshore (Ref. 9913). Mainly feeds on crustaceans and polychaetes (Ref. 114953). Biology little known (Ref. 9913) but reported to produce 4-6 young each gestation (Ref. 114953). Adult males and females known at 15 cm TL; common size reported to reach 35 cm TL (Ref. 114953). The electric organs present on disc are used to stun the prey.

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 19 - 28.2, mean 26.4 °C (based on 992 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6252   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Assuming fecundity<100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
