Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm Max length : 23.0 cm SHL male/unsexed; (Ref. 349); common length : 18.0 cm SHL male/unsexed; (Ref. 349)
Incidental bycatch of shrimp trawlers (Ref. 349). Maximum depth based on occurrence (Ref. 106750); to be replaced with a better reference. On sandy to muddy bottoms. Also found in shelf zones. Members of the Family Tonnidae mainly feed on holothurians (Ref. 349). Members of the order Neotaenioglossa are mostly gonochoric and broadcast spawners. Life cycle: Embryos develop into planktonic trocophore larvae and later into juvenile veligers before becoming fully grown adults (Ref. 833).
