Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology
Benthic; depth range 5 - 200 m (Ref. 4). Temperate, preferred 16°C (Ref. 107945); 28°S - 51°S, 114°E - 175°W (Ref. 111521)

Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm 9.2, range 7 - ? cm Max length : 58.0 cm BL male/unsexed; (Ref. 4); 43 cm BL (female)
Maximum carapace length of 23.5 cm (male) and 18 cm (female); and minimum legal carapace length of 10 cm (male) and 9 cm (female). Soft shelled specimens are occasionally caught in December and January (Ref. 4). Occurs at depths of 0 to 90 m (seldom at 150 m) on rocky substrate, especially on rocky onshore reefs with sufficient hiding places (Ref. 4). Lives in crevices of rocky shores and among algae (Ref. 4). Also commonly occurs on broken boulder areas and fractured reef (Ref. 106895). It is gregarious and nocturnal. It is carnivorous and feeds on small crustaceans, mollusks and echinoderms (Ref. 4).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Members of the order Decapoda are mostly gonochoric. Mating behavior: Precopulatory courtship ritual is common (through olfactory and tactile cues); usually indirect sperm transfer (Ref. 833). Mating and egg-laying occurs from May to July after the moult of the female; hatching between July and December of even later (Ref. 4).
