Comments: Apparently occurs on or near the bottom of upper continental and insular slopes, but depth distribution is undetermined; probably on shallower water than its congeners.  Presumably feeds on small fishes, cephalopods and crustaceans.  Viviparous, with yolk-sac dependency.  Gives birth to 3 -10 pups, but gestation period is unknown.  Males mature at about 43 cm TL and females by 61 cm TL; with largest embryo measured at 18 cm. The species is a very common catch component fo the demersal longline fishery in deepwater areas in eastern Indonesia.  It is caught for its meat, fins and liver oil (Ref. 58042).
