| Comments |
Widespread and abundant (maximum catch rates were ca. 500 ind/hr) along the southern and western seaboards of the British Isles (6-308 m deep), although its distribution in the North Sea was patchy. Juveniles were caught frequently in the Celtic Sea, but seldom caught during beam trawl surveys, although this gear catches large numbers of mature and maturing specimens (Ref. 82399). Also Ref. 244. |
