Biology
Oviparous, paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk [733]. Found on the outer continental shelf and upper slope. Feeds on a variety of small fish (e.g. lanternfish) and invertebrates. Consumes mostly pelagic prey [5106]. Possesses an enlarged gill region which is an adaptation to areas with low dissolved oxygen levels.
