Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Maximum depth from Ref. 105658. Found on or around coastal rocks (Ref. 82479), intertidal rocks and at depths of 40 to 100 m (Ref. 105658). Most specimens are trawled or dredged on the shelff at depths of 20 to 100 m (Ref. 122471). Species under the family Ranellidae are carnivorous mesogastropods known to feed on polychaetes, bivalves, ascidians, gastropods, echinoderms and crustaceans (Ref. 69146).
