Ecologia
marino batipelagico; oceanodromo (Ref. 51243); distribuzione batimetrica 51 - 700 m (Ref. 4479). Deep-water; 48°N - 16°N
Eastern Atlantic: Portugal to the Mauritanian upwelling region including the Mediterranean. Western Atlantic: Canada to USA. Distribution may be related to the oceanographic boundaries of the North Atlantic gyral system.
Length at first maturity / Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?, range 3 - ? cm
Max length : 7.8 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 128245)
High-oceanic, found below 700 m during the day and above 600 m at night (maximum abundance between 51-100 m and 301-350 m at night) (Ref. 4479). Juveniles and post-larvae are partial and non-migrants (Ref. 4479).
