Main Ref.	Jereb, P. and C.F.E. Roper (eds.), 2005
Remarks	Preferentially inhabits muddy substrates in depths between 25 to 475 m. Spawns continuously throughout the year. Often associated with Rossa macrosoma and Sepietta oweniana. Although less common, is caught along with other species of the genus and is sold and consumed locally (Ref. 1695).
