Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 0-1000 m.
According to Østvedt (1955) this species have not previously been taken from this northern latitude of the Norwegian Sea. Pipe & Coombs (1980, Table II) note at 60°N, 07°W the occurrence in depth: 570-580 m.
After Björnberg (1963, p.37) this species is registered off the Brazilian coast for the first time in samples from very saline and from cooler water, suggesting night vertical migration to the surface.
W. Zhang confirms the presence of this species in the Seas of China (pers. comm. 2006).
After Arashkevich (1978) the diets of the species are centric diatoms (mainly in the gut content), foraminifera and crustacea (less frequent). After Sano & al. (2013, p.21, 22) this species is considered omnivore/detritivores based on previous studies. It is assumed, in Sagami Bay, that the species to feed mainly on sinking aggregates containing fresh phytoplankton and /or crustaceans.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 5 corresponding to small sac-spawning detritivorous.
