[1] [2] It has southern circumglobal distribution in temperate to subantarctic waters (34°S–65°S) and is found in the Southern Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans and in the Southern Ocean [1] [2] at depths of about 200–1,200 m (660–3,940 ft).

The deepwater grenadier is very large for its genus, measuring up to 129 cm (4.23 ft) and 14 kg (31 lb). [8] Olfaction and taste are important senses for finding prey, which is unsurprising as it lives in the near-total darkness of the deep sea. [9] [8] It has a swim bladder, showing that it is a mobile forager. [10]
