Comments: Meso- to abyssopelagic (Ref. 58302) and bathypelagic (Ref. 58426).  Adults feed mainly on crustaceans, but also take fishes, cephalopods, and other invertebrates (Ref. 2850, 11041).  Oviparous, planktonic eggs hatch into planktonic leptocephalus larvae (Ref. 6719, 35600).  Degenerative changes in males and females suggest semelparity (Ref. 35600).
