Daily depth changes
FishBase describes a marked day–night shift: it occurs around 600–650 m during daylight and in the upper 100 m at night. These observations show why a depth record without time of day can give an incomplete picture of its habitat.
Early life
It lays eggs, and both eggs and larvae drift as plankton. The species account is based in part on the California Current early-life-stage atlas. Identifying these stages uses different characters from those used for adult lanternfishes.
