Scombriformes (Mackerels) >
Centrolophidae (Medusafishes)
Etymology: Tubbia: Because of Mr. J. Allan Tubb (Ref. 45335); stewarti: Named for Andrew Stewart, an ichthyologist from New Zealand..
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; bathypelagic; depth range 30 - 1438 m (Ref. 93030). Tropical
Southwest Pacific: confirmed from off Australia and New Zealand in the Southern Hemisphere'; possibly more widespread in the southern Indian Ocean but this needs confirmation.
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 56.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 93030)
The juveniles (6.1-9.9 cm SL) were collected from the epipelagic zone at 30-50 m depth; larger individuals (11.0-56.1 cm SL) occur much deeper in the mesopelagic zone at 525-1438 m depth (Ref. 93030).
