Etymology: Lampanyctus: Greek, lampas, -ados = torch + Greek, nykte = night (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ökologie
seewasser bathypelagisch; ozeanodrom (Ref. 51243); tiefenbereich 60 - 1150 m (Ref. 36121). Deep-water; 42°N - 37°S, 82°W - 153°W
Tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. Eastern Atlantic: disjunct distribution between 35°N-27°S and in Agulhas Water pockets (absent over the upwelling region between 17°N-9°N, east of 30°W). Western Atlantic: disjunct distribution between 42°N-10°S. Indian Ocean: between 8°N-0°. Western Central Pacific: Philippines. Considerable differences between Atlantic and Indo-Pacific material suggests that there may be more than one species involved (Ref. 36121).
Length at first maturity / Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ?, range 15 - ? cm
Max length : 23.7 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 36121)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 0; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 16 - 18; Afterflossenstacheln: 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 20 - 23; Wirbelzahl: 37 - 44. 14-17 AO photophores; 8-10.5 tooth patches on the lower limb of the second gill arch; 37-44 lateral line organs (Ref. 36121). Pectoral fin rays rather weak, flexible (Ref. 36121).
Oceanic (Ref. 4066), found between 650-1,000 m during the day; between 60-225 m at night (maximum abundance (mainly juveniles) at 100 m) (Ref. 4479). Mesopelagic (Ref. 58302). Uncommon species (Ref. 36121).
