Comment
Locality
Distribution Indo-West Pacific: widespread; from southern Africa to New Guinea and Australia, and north to southern Japan.
Quote demersal on soft substrates near coastal areas and reefs; to at least 70 m, depth distribution poorly defined; Viviparous, with yolk-sac dependency; biology poorly known, one pregnant female contained 9 mid-term embryos (27–31 cm); feeds primarily of bottom-dwelling crustaceans and molluscs; handling large adults can be hazardous and they create a nuisance to trawl fishers as they are difficult to remove and their roughness can damage smaller species in the catch.
