Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm Max length : 68.0 cm SVL male/unsexed; (Ref. 128830); 95 cm SVL (female)
The species was not observed in depths more than 50 meters (Ref. 128830). Maximum size is based from original description reference that studied 10 adult males and 18 adult females; to be replaced with a better reference. It inhabits offshore waters, estuaries, tidal waters and is usually found in soft sand and muddy bottom substrates at mostly at depths of 2 to 22 meters, but below 50 meters in depth (Ref. 128830).
