Atlantic, Indian and Pacific: in tropical and subtropical waters. Absent in the Mediterranean and in the eastern tropical Pacific. Widespread in the Eastern Central Atlantic but recorded mainly between 5°N and south of the equator. South China Sea (Ref.74511).
Size / Weight / Age
Mesopelagic at ca. 100-1000 m (Ref. 58302). Larvae (<3 cm SL) and small juveniles are frequently caught in the upper 50 or 100 m. Most adults are usually taken from depths exceeding 400 m but often between 100-400 m (Ref. 4763). Feeds on other midwater fishes. Synchronous hermaphrodites (Ref. 4478).
