distribution
Distribution Mainly circumtropical, in temperate to tropical waters of all large oceans including the Red Sea, Mediterranean, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, 45 ° N to 40 ° S (W. M. Tattersall 1923, 1951; O. S. Tattersall 1955, 1962; Ii 1964; Stuck et al. 1979; Price et al. 1986; Petryashov 2005 a; Murano & Fukuoka 2008; Price & Heard 2009; Miyashita & Calliari 2014; San Vicente 2017). Holopelagic, mainly offshore, also nearshore, mostly taken with plankton samples during the night in 0 – 50 m depth. Most of the population descends during the daytime down to a so far documented lower limit of Ĺ 550 m. The present record from station 329 was taken with a Bongo net at the sea surface during the day. The record from station 324 was taken during the night with a box corer closed at the bottom in 5493 m depth (see Discussion).
