Biologie     Fachlexikon (Englisch) (z.B. epibenthic)

A common inshore to offshore catshark. Prefers to feed on small bony fishes and crustaceans, also cephalopods (Ref. 244). Oviparous (Ref. 50449).

Life cycle and mating behavior Geschlechtsreife | Fortpflanzung | Ablaichen | Eier | Fecundity | Larven

Oviparous, with a single egg per oviduct at a time (Ref. 244). Oviparous, paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449). Size upon hatching below 31 cm (size of young with umbilical scars) (Ref. 244).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 9.3 - 16.5, mean 12.2 °C (based on 45 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00263 (0.00138 - 0.00502), b=3.21 (3.04 - 3.38), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.0   ±0.5 se; based on diet studies.
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref. 120179):  sehr niedrig, Verdopplung der Population dauert mehr als 14 Jahre. (Fec = 1).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  High to very high vulnerability (73 of 100).
