A seasonal migratory species. Feeds on fish, sharks, rays, squids, gastropods, crustaceans, and detritus. Viviparous; litter size 6-14 pups, usually born early winter; 69-100 cm at birth. Utilized fresh and dried-salted for human consumption; hides for leather; fins for sharks-fin soup; and liver oil extracted for vitamins. [details]
