	<dc:description>Found on sandy bottoms, from inshore waters to about 100 m in tidal areas (Ref. 3167).  Feed  on fishes (Ref. 3167).  Oviparous.  Distinct pairing with embrace.  Young may tend to follow large objects, such as their mother (Ref. 205).  Eggs are oblong capsules with stiff pointed horns at the corners deposited in sandy or muddy flats (Ref. 205).  Egg capsules are 6.6-10.0 cm long and 4.1-6.3 cm wide (Ref. 41250).  About 54-61 eggs are laid by an individual in a  year (Ref. 41250).</dc:description>
