Βιολογία     Γλωσσάρι (π.χ. epibenthic)

Even if it currently does not have a commercial importance in the Mediterranean (rare on the markets of Cyprus, Israel and Turkey), this species can have a potential importance for fishing. Common on the markets of Suez and lsmaïlia. Maximum depth from Ref. 122160. Prefers soft bottoms in coastal waters but also tolerates open waters and sheltered brackish areas (Ref. 122163). Above muddy, sandy, argillaceous funds and of gravel at depths of 10 to 50 m (Ref. 365). Also over sandy-silt bottoms at depths between 150 and 200 m (Ref. 122160).

Life cycle and mating behavior Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | Larvae

Some members of the order Stomatopoda pair for life and some come together only to mate. Males produce sperm ducts rather than spermatophores; females can brood a maximum of 50,000 eggs. Life cycle: Eggs hatch to a planktonic zoea which lasts for 3 months.
