Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Dark brown to grey in color (Ref. 26346). Juveniles covered with small prickles dorsally; adults smooth, thin-bodied and with a greatly elongated snout (Ref. 26346).
Adults inhabit the continental slope (Ref. 26346). Oviparous. Distinct pairing with embrace. Young may tend to follow large objects, such as their mother (Ref. 205). Eggs are oblong capsules with stiff pointed horns at the corners deposited in sandy or muddy flats (Ref. 205). Egg capsules are 8.8 cm long and 4.7 cm wide (Ref. 41249).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturities | Reproduktion | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larver
Oviparous (Ref. 26346). Paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449). Distinct pairing with embrace. Young may tend to follow large objects, such as their mother (Ref. 205). Eggs have horn-like projections on the shell (Ref. 205).
