Ecology of Liocranchia reinhardtii
 
Main Ref. Jereb, P. and C.F.E. Roper, 2010
Remarks Circumglobal in tropical and subtropical waters, recorded from 50°N to about 35°S, generally bounded by the north and south subtropical convergences. Epipelagic to upper mesopelagic vertical distribution of paralarvae and juveniles, while adults occur at lower epipelagic, mesopelagic and bathypelagic depths; surface to 1,200 m. At least in Hawaiian waters, this species appears to be a strong vertical migrator, probably a component of the mesopelagic boundary fauna where it is most common over bottom depths of 700 m or less, rather than in deeper offshore waters (Ref. 97142).
