Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
High-oceanic species found at 550-700 m during the day and nyctoepipelagic at the surface and down to 800 m (maximum abundance at the surface) (Ref. 4479). Epipelagic to bathypelagic (Ref. 58426). Size stratification with depth at night, with small sub-adults deeper than large sub-adults and adults (Ref. 4775). Feeds on crustaceans (Ref. 58426).
