Generally ranges between Antarctica and 35°S (off Argentina), 47°S (Falkland Current region), and 47°-49°S (between 45°E and 71°E). Adults occur only in high latitudes (South Orkneys, South Shetlands, Antarctic Peninsula); juveniles and adults in waters around South Georgia and central Scotia Sea.

Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 17 - 19; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 19 - 21.
South of the Antarctic Polar Front, adults occur in upper 250 m of open ocean and over continental shelves and oceanic banks (spring-summer) during the day, migrating to 50- 100 m at night. Also mesopelagic (Ref. 4066). Feeds on euphausiids and euphausiid larvae, hyperiids, mysids, copepods, and amphipods.
