Discussion

  • males are assumed not to differ from females

Facts

  • semelparous: death at first spawning, female ventilates eggs and dies after hatching; No food intake during this period (Ref: Wiki)
  • Male reach similar sizes as females, but mature earlier at a smaller size, 250 g (Ref: LepoPecl2008)
