FBname: Spiny scorpionfish
Remark: Motomura et al. (2007:33) suggest that this subspecies is perhaps a distinct species and direct comparison of specimens must be done (Ref. 75873).
Comments: Occurs over muddy sand bottoms (Ref. 4570). Probably oviparous with eggs extruded in floating gelatinous masses. Feeds on deep-sea benthic crustaceans, cephalopods and fishes (Ref. 43448).
