marin démersal; profondeur 2 - 8 m (Ref. 96339). Tropical; 30°N - 3°S, 114°W - 81°W (Ref. 114953)
Eastern Central Pacific: Mazatlán, Mexico to Ecuador, including Galapagos Islands.
Length at first maturity / Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm 48.5, range 44 - ? cm
Max length : 118 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 111131)
Benthic in shallow waters over sandy bottoms (Ref. 9262). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 50449). Produces litters of 1-6 pups. Females mature at ca. 48 cm TL, males at ca. 51 cm TL; born at 19 cm TL (Ref. 114953).
Exhibit ovoviparity (aplacental viviparity), with embryos feeding initially on yolk, then receiving additional nourishment from the mother by indirect absorption of uterine fluid enriched with mucus, fat or protein through specialised structures (Ref. 50449).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 26.6 - 29.1, mean 28.3 °C (based on 115 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5039 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00186 (0.00120 - 0.00289), b=3.12 (2.99 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.

Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Résilience (Ref.
120179): Faible, temps minimum de doublement de population : 4,5 à 14 années (Fec assumed to be <100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
