Occurs on sandy and muddy bottoms from the coast (below 20 m, Ref. 12382) down to depths of 1,000 m. May also be found on rocky bottoms (Ref. 12382). It lies half-buried in the sediment waiting for its prey. It attracts prey by means of its fishing filament (Ref. 5377). Feeds mainly on fishes, occasionally sea-birds. Marketed fresh and frozen; eaten steamed, sautéed, broiled, boiled, fried, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988). It is a well-studied species in Europe and is sold without the skin and the head under the name 'queue de Lotte' (Ref. 5377). Does not adapt well in home aquariums due to its large size (Ref. 12382).
生活於沙泥底距離海岸 (在 20 公尺之下, 參考文獻 12382) 向下至深度 1,000 公尺。 可能也被發現於岩石底部之上.(參考文獻 12382) 它在等候它的獵物的沉澱物中躺臥半埋藏地。 它經由它的釣魚絲狀突起吸引獵物。 (參考文獻 5377) 主要吃魚, 偶然地海鳥。 在市場上銷售生鮮和冷凍; 清蒸了, 煎炒, 火烤了, 煮沸了, 油炸了, 微波了而且燒烤了。 (參考文獻 9988) 在歐洲它是一個充分研究的種而且去皮去頭被賣被稱為 ' queue de Lotto'.(參考文獻 5377) 在家庭的水族箱魚中適應不良由於它的巨大的體型.(參考文獻 12382)
