Diet Feeds mainly on epibenthic animals. With increase in size, shrimps and euphausiids are ingested in greater quantities but unlike L. reticulatus, its ingestion of smaller prey items does not decrease. Changes in feeding habit with size are relatively small [details]Distribution Northeast Atlantic: eastern central Greenland southeast to just north of the Faroes, Jan Mayen I., around Spitsbergen and northern parts of Barents Sea.
