It occurs in the high North Atlantic, predominately north of 47&deg;N in the central North Atlantic, where it seem to be one of the most abundant cranchiids (Vecchione et al., xxx).<br /><div ><!-- ToL Image #START# --> <a href="javascript: w = window.open('http://tolweb.org/media/34562', '34562', 'resizable,height=600,width=800,scrollbars=yes'); w.focus();"><img src="http://tolweb.org/tree/ToLimages/t.megalopsme.100a.jpg"/></a><!-- ToL Image #END# --><br /><p><strong>Figure</strong>.
