Depth range Approximately 5600–9104 m. These records represent the shallowest and deepest known certain depths in the literature for B. schellenbergi. Records of 0–8129 m over a bottom depth of 10437 m (Birstein and Vinogradov 1960) are excluded as this equates only to length cabled out during mid-water trawls, thus the exact depth of capture is unknown.
