Discussion

  • Males are assumed not to differ from females

Facts

  • Temperature varies from 15 C in Februari to 20 in August at 25 m deep around the Azores (Ref: MoraAfon2007)
  • Weight (g) - length (cm): 0.0096*L^3 (Ref: fishbase)
  • Bothus mancus, which has similar size, spawns 2 till 3 million eggs (Ref: eol)
