Description
Remark
Occurs in western India
Occurrence
native
Distribution
Worldwide in temperate and tropical latitudes, except the eastern Pacific. Eastern Atlantic: Greenland, Iceland, and Norway to Western Sahara and South Africa, including western Mediterranean. Western Atlantic: south to Brazil. Indo-Pacific: East Africa (including the Madascar Ridge and Saya de Malha Bank, Ref. 33390) to Japan, Australia, and New Zealand . The limited number of records in the western Pacific is doubtless the result of limited fishing effort below 200 m .
