Maximum total length is over 1 meter. It is fished along Baja California, on both sides of the southern Gulf of California and south to Oaxaca. It is fished from March to October (Ref. 96968). This is a benthic species found on soft bottoms, particularly in intertidal and subtidal areas (Ref. 83938). Opportunistic predator, foraging at night on a wide variety of prey (Ref. 108489).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Members of the class Cephalopoda are gonochoric. Male and female adults usually die shortly after spawning and brooding, respectively. Mating behavior: Males perform various displays to attract potential females for copulation. During copulation, male grasp the female and inserts the hectocotylus into the female's mantle cavity where fertilization usually occurs. Life cycle: Embryos hatch into planktonic stage and live for some time before they grow larger and take up a benthic existence as adults.
