Ecologia
marino; salmastro pelagic-oceanic; oceanodromo (Ref. 51243); distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 30 m (Ref. 96339). Tropical; 42°N - 10°S, 125°W - 14°E
Eastern Pacific and Eastern Atlantic: USA and Mexico; Dakar, Senegal to Luanda, Angola. Records from the western Atlantic (off Suriname and in the Caribbean Sea) seem doubtful.
