Chart of 1996
Loc:
Medit. (Alboran Sea, Baleares, Liguruian Sea, Tyrrhenian Sea, off G. of Sidra, Lebanon Basin), W Gibraltar, off Bermuda (in Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station ‘’ S’’: 32°10’N, 64°30’W), Angola-Namibia, South Africa (Walvis Ridge)
N: 7
Lg.:
(797) F: 1-0,9; M: 0,76; (881) F: 0,9-1,2; M: 0,76-0,87; {F: 0,90-1,20; M: 0,76-0,87}
Rem.: Bathypelagic-bathyal. Sargasso Sea: 1000-1500 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S");
It is possible that this form could have migrated from the Mediterranean into the Atlantic Ocean (32°N, 64°W).
