An oceanic, mesopelagic fish with some size stratification with respect to depth: small specimens (4.0 cm SL have only been taken in trawls fished to 490 m and deeper. During daytime minimal catch data indicate that the species is not found in the upper 500 m, but at night, small specimens (< ca. 2.5 cm SL) may migrate into the upper 120 m. Mature and expended females (Stages V and VI) have been caught in January and April, suggesting late summer spawning period (Ref. 96467).
