	<dc:description>Abundant on sandy grounds and strays into shallower waters.  A voracious predator with cannibalistic habits.  Individuals over 40 cm TL prey on fishes such as gadoids and herring, while smaller ones feed on crustaceans, i.e. euphausiids and pandalids; food also includes gaspereau, myctophids, smelt, silversides, mackerel, sand lance, butterfish, snakeblennies, longhorn sculpins and squids (Ref. 5951).  The smallest specimen feeds mostly on crustaceans (Ref. 58452).  Exhibits seasonal onshore-offshore migration (Ref. 9988).  Spawning takes place from June-July in the mid-Atlantic region; July-August in the Gulf of Maine and to the north of Georges Bank, and August-September on the Scotian Shelf (Ref. 58452).  Marketed fresh, smoked and frozen; fresh fish are exported to European markets; eaten fried, broiled, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988).</dc:description>
