	<dc:description>Occurs in coastal and oceanic waters, but more common near the coast (Ref. 9256).  Found singly or in small groups (Ref. 12951).  Feeds mainly on planktonic crustaceans (Ref. 12951); mostly small shrimp-like animals (Ref.58048).  Ovoviviparous (Ref. 50449).  Caught occasionally in the tuna gillnet and in harpoon fisheries. Utilized for its gill filter plates (high value), meat, cartilage and skin (Ref.58048). Can leap out of the water.</dc:description>
