Oceanic and mesopelagic (Ref. 6601, 58302). Adults have usually been taken in hauls to depths in excess of 500 m although they have also been captured at night in several hauls between 275 to 0 m. Larvae have been captured in hauls restricted to the upper 100 m and have been captured year-round throughout its range (Ref. 10755). Oviparous, with planktonic larvae (Ref. 35929). Synchronous hermaphrodites (Ref. 35929). Adults prey on other midwater fishes (Ref. 6691).
