Geographic Species Map (Fishbase.org Map)

Summary of Distribution: Circumglobal, excluding the northeast Pacific and Mediterranean Sea. Western Atlantic: Gulf of Maine to the Gulf of Mexico. Eastern Atlantic: off southwestern Europe and the Canary Islands to South Africa. Indo-Pacific: East Africa to Japan, Hawaii, Australia, and New Zealand. The limited number of records in the western Pacific is doubtless the result of limited fishing effort below 200 m. Eastern Pacific: Chile

Note: Distribution range colors indicate degree of suitability of habitat which can be interpreted as probabilities of occurrence (fishbase.org)
