Southwest Pacific: New Zealand, Tasman Sea, south of Tasmania, southeast Australia (Victoria), and possibly also across the Indian Ocean (Ref. 1371). A possible subspecies, Coryphaenoides serrulatus oceanus from the Indian Ocean (Walters Shoals south of Madagascar to Broken Ridge in 870-1,255 m) is recognized by Iwamoto and Shcherbachev (Ref. 10993).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 3.1 - 7.2, mean 4.8 °C (based on 181 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00219 (0.00111 - 0.00431), b=3.20 (3.03 - 3.37), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.5   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Very Low, minimum population doubling time more than 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate vulnerability (38 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Medium.
