Ökologie
seewasser bathypelagisch; ozeanodrom (Ref. 51243); tiefenbereich 0 - 1200 m (Ref. 56504), usually 275 - 1000 m (Ref. 117245). Deep-water; 72°N - 16°N, 82°W - 36°E
Eastern Atlantic: strays as far north as Dohrn Bank (off East Greenland) and off northwest Iceland, from British Isles to Mauritanian Upwelling Region including the Mediterranean (Ref. 4479). Western Atlantic: as shallow as 46 m in Ungava Bay, Canada, in slope water region (Ref. 5951).
Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 30.0 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 4479)
Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt): 13-14; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 16 - 18. Distinguished from other species of Lampanyctus by the pattern of its photophores and by its short pectoral fins located just behind gill opening (Ref. 5571). Photophores along ventral post-anal region (AO): 6 (7) + 8 (7-9) = 14 (13-16) (Ref. 4775).
High-oceanic, between 700-1,000 m during the day (with juveniles in the upper 200 m) and 45-250 m and 4000-1,000 m at night (Ref. 4479). Depth range from 318-1192 m in the eastern Ionian Sea (Ref. 56504). Epipelagic to bathypelagic, feeds on zooplankton (Ref. 58426). Catches of lanternfishes off the west coast of South Africa: 1,134-42,560 mt (Ref. 5571). Minimum depth from Ref. 58018.
