Circumglobal, with overall latitudinal range of 63 ° N to 43 ° S (Pietsch 1986); Greenland; western Pacific Ocean north to Japan; New Zealand; Hawai’i (Pietsch 1986); British Columbia (49 ° 29 ’ N, 127 ° 17 ’ W) (Weil et al. 2015) to Peru (Pietsch 1986). Depth: 75 – 4,000 m (246 – 13,123 ft), but mostly taken at 500 – 1,250 m (1,640 – 4,101 ft) (Pietsch 1986); reported at surface (Orlov and Tokranov 2019), but without documentation. Based on analyses of mtDNA, Bañón et al. (2019) found that Pacific and Atlantic specimens might represent cryptic species.
