Ecology
Marine; bathypelagic; depth range ? - 960 m (Ref. 4461). Deep-water
Eastern Central Atlantic: known only from the holotype found in the stomach of Himantolophus groenlandicus. The validity of this species is considered doubtful by Matsui & Rosenblatt (Ref. 10887) who consider the species a synonym of Sagamichthys schnakenbecki.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00407 (0.00154 - 0.01080), b=3.17 (2.94 - 3.40), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming tmax>3).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (16 of 100).
