Electrona carlsbergi, the Electron subantarctic lanternfish, covers waters to the south of the Antarctic convergence to the Antarctic coast.[2] Their life span is about five years, in which they mature after 2–3 years. They feed mainly on copepods, but also hyperiids and euphausiids.[3]
This species reaches a length of 11.2 cm (4.4 in).[4]
The fish is named in honor of the Carlsberg Laboratory, Copenhagen, the research arm of the Carlsberg Foundation, which financed the Dana Expedition that collected the type specimen.[5]
