Maximum size: 35 cm (Ref. 366); 30 cm (Ref. 358). Methods: Captured by dredgers and trawls, this species is used in some countries of the zone (France, Spain where it is very appreciated in Catalonia). One needs additional information on the mode of Net use carrying of large papillae and separating the faces dorsal and ventral (Ref. 366). Abundant in the continental shelf (Refs. 93433, 122969); also found in the continental slope (Ref. 93433). Lives on rubble (Ref. 111335). Recorded from the upper sublittoral zone of Sidi Medjdoub, Mostaganem, Algeria. Abundant in depths of 150 to 200m with a constant water temperature of 13°C (Ref. 128655).

Life cycle and mating behavior Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | Larvae

Members of the class Holothuroidea are gonochoric and have only one gonad. Spawning and fertilization are both external and some exhibit brooding. Life cycle: Embryos develop into planktotrophic larvae (auricularia) then into doliolaria (barrel-shaped stage) which later metamorphose into juvenile sea cucumbers.
