After Pearson (1906, p.27): vertical range down to 700 m at SW of Valentia Island (Ireland). Overall Depth Range in Sargasso Sea: 500-1500 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S");
For Itoh (1970 a, fig.2, from co-ordonates) the Itoh's index value of the mandibular gnathobase = 955.
For Park (2000, p.143), this species occurred in all three major oceans and was the most common, representing 44 % of the total found for the genus. M. gracilis and M. paragracilis also occurred in all three major oceans but accounted for only 8 % and 14 % of specimens, respectively;M. angustus and M. poriphorus were found only in Atlantic and Pacific Ocean samples, representing 29 % and 6 %, respectively; M. angustus has been recorded from the Indian Ocean (Sewell, 1932). | | | Last update : 17/10/2017 | |
