This is a deep-water, oceanic species, not often seen near shore (unless deep water approaches the coast).
Very few stomachs have been examined, and there are even fewer observations of feeding behavior reported in the literature. Clymene Dolphins apparently feed predominantly on small fish (including myctophids) and squid at moderate depths (Jefferson and Curry 2003).
