Etymology: Lampanyctus: Greek, lampas, -ados = torch + Greek, nykte = night (Ref. 45335); wisneri: Named in honor of Robert L. Wisner, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, in recognition of his contributions to the systematics of myctophids and other oceanic fishes (Ref. 36121).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino batipelagico; distribuzione batimetrica 600 - 650 m (Ref. 36121). Deep-water
Atlantic, Indian and Pacific: nearly circumglobal in subtropical convergence waters (the gap south and east of Australia appear to be real and not an artifact of sampling effort).
