Western Atlantic: Nova Scotia, Canada south along the U.S., Gulf of Mexico from the Florida Keys, Tampa (Florida) to the Texas/Mexico border, and off Mexico from Tabasco to the Yucatan Peninsula, and along South America from the Gulf of Cariaco (Venezuela) to Suriname (R.

Length at first maturity / Size / Vikt / Age

Maturity: L_m 42.2 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 125 cm TL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 3276); 95.0 cm FL (female); common length : 90.0 cm TL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 3276); publicerad maxvikt: 30.0 kg (Ref. 9988); rapporterad maxålder: 35 år (Ref. 6086)

Most common around 200 m, usually over mud or sand bottom and occasionally over rough bottom (Ref. 9988); prefers temperature of 8-17°C (Ref. 5951). Feeds mainly on shrimp and crabs, but also takes fish, squid, bivalves and holothurians. Sensitive to cold water (Ref. 9988), a mass die-off occurred in 1882, after which the species was rare for decades, presumably due to unusually cold water (Ref. 7251). Marketed fresh or frozen; can be steamed, pan-fried, broiled, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988).
