Adults inhabit continental shelf and slope waters (Ref. 6390). Reported from depths between 22 m (Ref. 58489) and 400m (Ref. 30458). They are schooling species, usually aggregating close to the sea bed (Ref. 26498) although there is some evidence that they move into the middle water column at night (Ref. 30459). Juveniles recorded offshore to a depth of 100 m and sometimes entering estuaries, often in association with jellyfish (Ref. 9563) and schooling close to the surface. Feed mainly on salps but also takes euphausiids, krill, crabs and small squid (Ref. 9072). Marketed fresh and frozen; eaten steamed, fried, broiled, boiled, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988).
成魚棲息於大陸棚及大陸坡水域。 (參考文獻 6390) 深度介於 22 公尺 (參考文獻 58489) 與 400 公尺之間記錄來自.。 (參考文獻 30458) 他們是群游性種, 通常聚集接近海床 (參考文獻 26498) 雖然有一些證據它們移進中央的水團中在晚上.(參考文獻 30459) 記錄外海到深度 100 公尺的稚魚與有時進入河口, 常見於鄰近水母 (參考文獻 9563)中與群游性接近表面。 主要捕食被囊動物也捕食磷蝦,磷蝦,螃蟹與小的烏賊.(參考文獻 9072) 在市場上銷售生鮮和冷凍; 清蒸,油炸,火烤, 煮沸, 微波.而且燒烤..(參考文獻 9988)
