distribution as from 10° to 58°S in the Atlantic,
37° to 68°S in the Pacific and 36° to 59°S in the Indian Ocean. Poulsen (1973) adds a single record
from Indonesian seas. It is a common species in
Magellan Straits, from about 200 m to the surface; and we recorded it previously from the second Italian Antarctic expedition in considerable
numbers at St. 1 and 2 (Benassi et al. 1992).
Deevey (1983) gives the depth range as 0-5190
m, but earlier Deevey (1982) noted that it was
most abundant in the upper few hundred metres,
between the Subtropical and Antarctic Convergences.
