Comments: Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302).  Reported to have been encountered it most often in pairs, one individual usually being much larger than the other; appears to be among the deepest ranging of the subgenus <i>Trochocopus</i>, collected at depths of 67 to 238 m, but apparently preferring depths of 100-120 m (Ref. 75973).  Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205).
