provided by Fishbase
On rare occasions, small individuals may be found in surface waters while adults occur at depths of around 3,000 m. Often, in the presence of a strong light source, these fish undergo mass migration towards the surface (Ref. 26335). Oceanic, epipelagic or mesopelagic in warm and temperate waters. Feeds mainly on salps (Ref. 33689).
