Description Found on continental shelves, often on sandy beaches and rarely in estuaries. Can not tolerate very low salinities. Feeds mainly on bony fishes but also takes cephalopods and other invertebrates. Viviparous, with 1 to 8 in a litter. Size at birth between 25 and 39 cm. Quite common. Often taken by anglers (Ref. 5485). Utilized for human consumption and processed for fishmeal. [details]
