Feed on a variety of fish and invertebrates, but primarily on pelagic crustaceans such as shrimps, amphipods and cumaceans; cephalopods and lantern fishes constitute a lesser portion of the diet.  Batch spawner (Ref. 51846). This species is currently facing overexploitation in the North Atlantic.  Utilized frozen and for fishmeal; can be fried and baked (Ref. 9988).
