Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Commercially fished in the Atlantic (Senegal, Guinea, Congo, Angola, and French Guyana) (Ref. 8), but no longer in Brazil (Ref. 101581). Benthic (Ref. 91956). Predominantly deep-water species (Ref. 104150). Found on muddy bottom. Temperate to tropical environment (Ref. 8).
