Biology
Exhibit ovoviparity (aplacental viviparity), with embryos feeding initially on yolk, then receiving additional nourishment from the mother by indirect absorption of uterine fluid enriched with mucus, fat or protein through specialised structures [733]. Inhabits sandy and weedy bottoms, sometimes near patch reefs. Usually buried in the sand or mud. Feeds on molluscs and crustaceans.
