Size of first maturity not exactly defined, however, males have well-developed claspers at 39.3 cm TL and egg-capsules and other evidence that would help establish size of maturity in females without dissection have not been found. Stomach contents include squid beaks and skeletal elements of bony fishes (Ref. 107325). Soares, K.D.A., U.L.
