Rem.: epipelagic. Sargasso Sea: 0-500 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S").
Recorded by Björnberg (1963, p.30) for the first time from Brazilian waters. It seems to prefer oceanic waters and cooler temperatures.
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 a fine-filter feeder.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 7 corresponding to small filter feeding herbivorous.
