FBname: Antarctic lanternfish
Comments: Oceanic and mesopelagic, found in the upper 100 m south of the Antarctic Polar Front but deeper northwards (Ref. 4066).  Adults take more euphausiids and also prey upon polychaetes.  The diet of juveniles of less than 6 cm SL consists mainly of copepods, with some euphausiids and hyperiids.  Possibly the most common myctophid occurring south of the Antarctic Polar Front.
