Ecologia
marinhas demersal; oceanódromo (Ref. 51243); intervalo de profundidade 1 - 1010 m (Ref. 114491). Polar; 45°S - 78°S, 180°W - 180°E
Circumpolar south of Antarctic Polar Front, but not found in Ross Sea; adults only in higher latitudes (South Orkneys, South Shetlands, Peter Island) and south of the Weddell-Scotia confluence, but adults and juveniles in the region of South Sandwich I, South Georgia and Bouvet. Reported from off the Cape, South Africa and from 43°17'S, 48°55'E (Ref. 4066).

Max length : 11.5 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 114491); 10.3 cm SL (female); peso máx. Publicado: 15.00 g (Ref. 124149); Idade máx. registada: 4 anos (Ref. 94119)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 14 - 16; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais moles: 19 - 22.
Oceanic and mesopelagic, found in the upper 100 m south of the Antarctic Polar Front but deeper northwards (Ref. 4066). Adults take more euphausiids and also prey upon polychaetes. The diet of juveniles of less than 6 cm SL consists mainly of copepods, with some euphausiids and hyperiids. Possibly the most common myctophid occurring south of the Antarctic Polar Front.
