飞柔鱼广泛分布于南海北部大陆斜坡海域 ,在水深 40 0— 599m海域栖息密度较高。用深海拖虾网捕捞 ,5— 6月份密度指数较高 ,白昼的密度指数高于夜晚。估算调查区内的资源量超过 550t。产卵期为 6— 1 0月。营养成分测定表明 ,它是值得开发利用的种类 Common flying owls are widely distributed in the continental slope of the northern South China Sea and have higher habitat density in the waters of 40 0-599 m. With deep-sea drag shrimp net fishing, 5-6 month high density index, daytime density index higher than night. Estimated resources within the survey area more than 550t. The spawning period is 6-10 months. Determination of nutrients shows that it is worth the development and utilization of the species
