Preferentially inhabits muddy substrates in depths between 25 to 475 m. Spawns continuously throughout the year. Often associated with Rossa macrosoma and Sepietta oweniana. Although less common, is caught along with other species of the genus and is sold and consumed locally (Ref. 1695).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | Larvae
Members of the class Cephalopoda are gonochoric. Male and female adults usually die shortly after spawning and brooding, respectively. Mating behavior: Males perform various displays to attract potential females for copulation. During copulation, male grasp the female and inserts the hectocotylus into the female's mantle cavity where fertilization usually occurs. Life cycle: Embryos hatch into planktonic stage and live for some time before they grow larger and take up a benthic existence as adults.
