Astronesthes richardsoni is a mesopelagic species that is thought to occur at depths of up to 1,000m. It is thought that, like most species of this genus, it tends to live deeper than 500m during the day. Some, particularly smaller individuals, migrate up the water column to feed at night (Gibbs 1984). Its diet may consist of smaller fishes and crustaceans.
