Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Depth range based on reported depth in Angola (Ref. 83346). Found both offshore, near the coast in many areas (Ref. 1394) and shelf waters (Ref. 122680). Commonly in groups of 10 to 20 individuals on feeding grounds (Ref. 801). They are active lunge feeders (Ref. 1394). Known as 'gulpers,' feeding in separate events, often lunging at large schools of fish (Ref. 122680). Feeds primarily on fish, but they also take invertebrates (Ref. 1394) like krill (Ref. 122680). Oceanodromous (Ref. 75906).
