Comments: Adults found between 500-800 m depth while the oceanic young stages between 70-200 m (Ref. 6689).  Bathypelagic (Ref. 58426).  The young feeds mainly on copepods while the large ones on euphausiids, hyperiids and mesopelagic fishes.  Adults undertake far-ranging feeding migrations (outside the spawning season) to the slope areas of Europe, North America and West Africa.  Spawning probably occurs in midwater far offshore, with a concentration in the Sargasso Sea (Ref. 6689).
