Comments: Found on or near the bottom of continental slopes; also found pelagically in the upper 1,250 m of water 4,000 m deep (Ref. 31367).  Presumably feeds on fish and cephalopods (Ref. 6871).  Ovoviviparous (Ref. 50449).  Utilized and fishmeal and dried salted for human consumption (Ref. 247); meat and fins (low value) and liver oil (very high value), and occasionally for its mature eggs (Ref.58048).
