Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Könsmognad: Lm 8.9, range 8 - 8.3 cm Max length : 65.0 cm TL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 441); common length : 40.0 cm TL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 441); publicerad maxvikt: 6.0 kg (Ref. 4); rapporterad maxålder: 72 år (Ref. 81081)
Common total length: 23 to 50 cm. Occurs on the continental shelf at depths of 0 to 150 m, usually not deeper than 50 m. Found on hard substrates such as rock or hard mud. Nocturnal and territorial living in holes or crevices. Females with eggs are usually found throughout the year. The eggs are laid around July and carried for 10 to 11 months (Ref. 4). Indiscriminate scavengers, omnivorous or carnivorous. Feeds primarily on malacostracan crustaceans, gastropod mollusks, and polychaete annelids; but diet known to include carrion, echinoderms, lamellibranchs and plant matter (Ref. 96319).
