Issue
Information to be completed.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / profondeur / distribution range
Écologie
marin démersal; profondeur 0 - 195 m (Ref. 106604). Temperate
Eastern Indian Ocean: off Western Australia.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturité: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 256 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 106604)
The maximum size was based on jaws of a specimen in the personal collection of M. Harris (Harris, 2015, pers. comm.); but reported lengths up to 290 cm and 300 cm TL need further confirmation (Ref. 106604).
