Uncommon species (Ref. 34024). Feed on euphausiid shrimps, gammarid amphipods, fish scales and a midwater myctophid (Ref. 31446). Feeding probably takes place on or just above the bottom, utilizing both benthic and benthopelagic crustaceans and fishes (Ref. 31446). Reproductive strategy possibly similar to other members of this family featuring oviparity, with oval pelagic eggs floating in a gelatinous mass (Ref. 205).
