Trophic Strategy
provided by Fishbase
Oceanic and mesopelagic, found in the upper 100 m south of 50°S, but below 550 m in the region of Subtropical Convergence (Ref. 4066). Feeds on copepods, hyperiids and euphausiids, but also takes ostracods and gasteropods.

Biology
provided by Fishbase
Oceanic and mesopelagic, found in the upper 100 m south of 50°S, but below 550 m in the region of Subtropical Convergence (Ref. 4066). Migrates from 80 to 140 m to the surface at about 18h00 with ascent rate of 0.5 m per minute; the descent rate is 1.8 m per minute. Forms the main component of the Deep Scattering Layer in the Pacific sector. Feeds on copepods, hyperiids and euphausiids, but also takes ostracods and gastropods. Eaten by squid and to an insignificant degree, by fishes (Channichthyidae, Notolepis sp.) and birds (Procellariidae).

Electrona carlsbergi
provided by wikipedia EN
Electrona carlsbergi, the Electron subantarctic lanternfish, covers waters to the south of the Antarctic convergence to the Antarctic coast.[2] Their life span is about five years, in which they mature after 2–3 years. They feed mainly on copepods, but also hyperiids and euphausiids.[3]
Size
This species reaches a length of 11.2 cm (4.4 in).[4]
Etymology
The fish is named in honor of the Carlsberg Laboratory, Copenhagen, the research arm of the Carlsberg Foundation, which financed the Dana Expedition that collected the type specimen.[5]
