The majority of records are from the Southern Hemisphere and the records from temperate latitudes are of very dubious validity and may be of large specimens of C. magna. There is a lack of good bathymetric data for this species, but it is likely to be a mesopelagic species. Southern Ocean n Mean mm s.d.
