Écologie
marin démersal; profondeur ? - 800 m (Ref. 11892), usually 20 - 200 m (Ref. 11892). Polar; 48°S - 54°S, 63°E - 79°E

Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 60.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. )
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 6.0 cm long and 3.4 cm wide (Ref. 41249). Frequently taken in commercial bottom hauls but not much utilized because of its small size (Ref. 5159).
Life cycle and mating behavior

Oviparous, 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).
