				Oceanic species with a strong preference for marlins and sailfish as hosts, but may occasionally cling to other large fishes.  Attaches to the body or gill chamber of the host (Ref. 10791).  Oviparous.  Distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 57896).			
			 
			
			
			
				
				
				
				Oviparous. From collection study observations, a mature pair is often found attached to a single host, most often a billfish, indicative of distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 57896).
