He also noted that they stopped feeding. Unfortunately, he did not illustrate either the males or the females. As such specimens are not found naturally in coastal waters, it seems likely that they mature only after they have reached the spawning area.</paragraph>

The gut is empty, and well-developed testes are present. The snout has a rather deep, squared-off appearance, and the flange on the upper lip is greatly reduced.
