It mainly lives on the deep sea floor at a depth of about 400 meters, but can sometimes be seen in coastal areas. It reproduces viviparously and gives birth to about 20 young. It is found in the Pacific Ocean south of Hokkaido and the Sea of ​​Japan in the waters near Japan, but is distributed in the deep seas of tropical waters all over the world. It grows to about 1.4 meters in length and is used as an ingredient in paste products.
