Chiba S. & al., 2015 (p.971, Table 1: Total length female (June-July) = 1.2 mm [optimal SST (°C) = 4.8].
Rem.: Oceanic and littoral, epipelagic. Overall Depth Range in Sargasso Sea: 0-500 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S"). For Acha & al. (2020) this species is observed on shelfbreak in front of Rio de La Plata (Argentina).
Cosmopolitan: tropical and temperate (limited by latitudes 40° N & S, except in the extreme north Pacific cited only by Wilson, 1950).
After Björnberg (1963, p.63) in brazilian waters this species occurred in greater numbers in the samples from high salinity waters (above 35.00 p.1000) and lower temperatures (± 18°C), thus preferring subtropical conditions confirming Yamasi's (1958) classification of the species as temperate. It did not occur in samples of coastal waters. Heinrich (1961) found the species between 25° and 35° N in the west Pacific usually concentrated in the 25-50 m deep layer or in the 50-100 m layer, reaching down to 500 m. It is found in still deeper layers (580 to 1.040 m) near Japan (Furuhashi, 1961) in temperatures about 4 to 5°C.
According to Mulyadi (2004) this species is very rare around Indonesian waters.

For Itoh (1970 a, fig.2, from co-ordonates) the Itoh's index value from mandibular gnathobase = 740.
Timonin (1971, p.282) considers the trophic interrelations in the equatorial and tropical Indian Ocean, and divides the plankters into 6 trophic groups from the litterature and the results of studies of mouth-parts structure and intestine content. This species is omnivorous.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 4 corresponding to small filter feeding herbivorous and mixed feeding omnivorous (mostly broadcasters).
