Habitat
Bathypterois grallator has been found relatively widely throughout the ocean from a northern latitude of the 40th parallel north to a southern latitude of the 40th parallel south. It is a wide ranging eurybathic fish and it is found from 878 to 4720 meters (2854 to 15,340 feet) deep. Along with the giant squid, deep-sea anglerfish and black swallower, it is one of the permanent residents found in the Abyssal zone and was directly observed on the historic voyage of the bathyscaphe Trieste to the Mariana Trench.
