Comments |
Known from coast of Atlantic Ocean (Ref. 12735, 12749), with a strong pattern of seasonal onshore-offshore abundance, which coincide with the alternance of the rainy and dry seasons (Ref. 12735). It appears to be more abundant in the deeper waters between 40 to 200m depth, and more restricted to the northern part of the Sierra Leonean shelf, being rarely found in large quantities south of Sherbro Island (Ref. 12735). Also Ref. 188, 2945, 4743, 30305. |
