Ecology of Sebastolobus macrochir
 
Main Ref. Orlov, A.M. and A.V. Nesin, 2000
Remarks Occurs in places with the steepest downthrow and sharp bends of sea bottom often in the places of the slope surrounded by large depths (the steep bottom relief causes vertical turbulent currents that provide the accumulation of food items) (Ref. 26289). Feeds on bottom organisms (Ophiuroidea, Amphipoda) and on pelagics such as young squids (Ref. 26289).
