Etymology: Krefftichthys: Named for Dr. Gerhard Krefft (Institut fur Seefischerei, Hamburg) for his pioneering work and contributions to the knowledge of deep-sea fishes.
Eponymy: Dr Gerhard Krefft (1912–1993) was a German ichthyologist and herpetologist whose great uncle was Johann Ludwig Gerard Krefft (below). [...] Karl Andreas Andersson (1875–1968) was the zoologist of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition led by Otto Nordenskjöld (1902–1903). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Oceanic (Ref. 4066). Found in the upper 50-100 m south of Antarctic Polar Front at night, but deeper (500-600 m) north of Antarctic Polar Front and at depths greater than 1,000 m at Subtropical Convergence. Feeds mainly on copepods, and also on euphausiids and amphipods.
