Distribution Depth range 0-525 m refers to both light and dark forms, which are now found to belong to 2 species by Orr & Blackburn 2004 (Ref. 53613).
Quote At least 2 color variations exist, the 'dark dusky' type is usually in shallow water while the 'light dusky' type occurs in deeper water. The two types appear to be separate species, but more taxonomic work is needed on specimens from intermediate depths.
