FBname: Antarctic silverfish
Comments: Regarded as the only truly pelagic fish in Antarctic waters (Ref. 6390).  Larvae and postlarvae occur between 0 to 135 m; juveniles 50 to 400 and adults below 400 m (Ref. 5179).  Postlarvae feed mainly on eggs and larvae of copepods; juveniles mainly on copepods, but take also eggs and larvae of euphausiids, polychaetes and chaetognaths (Ref. 5179).  Larger items are ingested with increase in size (Ref. 5179).  Larval pelagic phase is long (Ref. 28916).
