Trophic Strategy
provided by Fishbase
Occur on the continental slope, benthic (Ref. 75154). Feed mainly on salps. Other food items include fish, crustaceans and squid (Ref. 6390).
Biology
provided by Fishbase
Inhabit continental slopes (Ref. 9563), forming large shoals over rough ground near pinnacles and canyons (Ref. 6390). Juveniles are pelagic and tend to be dispersed over smooth grounds (Ref. 6390). Feed on salps, fish, crustaceans and squid (Ref. 27230). Eggs float near the surface and larvae also inhabit surface waters (Ref. 6390).
Importance

fisheries: minor commercial; price category: medium; price reliability: very questionable: based on ex-vessel price for species in this family
