Oviparous (Ref. 50449). Eggs have horn-like projections on the shell (Ref. 205). Reportedly taken as bycatch in deeper water benthic trawl and longline teleost target fisheries as well as in target longline skate fishing from off Mar del Plata, Argentina (Ref. 104534).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Ägg | Fecundity | Larver
Oviparous, paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449). Eggs have horn-like projections on the shell (Ref. 205).
