Description Inhabits trawling grounds of the continental shelves and offshore rocky bottoms. Feeds mostly on bottom-living invertebrates and small fishes. Caught mainly with bottom longlines and bottom trawls (Ref. 9775). Good potential commercial fish if sufficient stocks can be located (Ref. 9775). [details]
