Comments: Apparently planktophagic, with <i>Drepanopus forcipatus</i> (calanoid copepod) as its main food; has very low fecundity (only 71 maturing ova found as mean value); and has four parasites - two species of <i>Acanthocepha</i> (larvae of <i>Corynosomia</i> sp. And adults of <i>Hypoechinorhyinchus</i> sp.), one undetermined <i>Trematoda</i> and a larva of undetermined ectoparasitic copepod (Ref. 56210).
