DistributionHalecium tenellum is a nearly cosmopolitan species (Cornelius 1975), with records from all oceans, including polar waters, although some identifications from high latitudes in the North Atlantic proved to be erroneous (Calder 1991; Schuchert 2005). Reported from South Africa by Millard (1975). Its bathymetric range extends from the intertidal zone to 1200 m (Peña Cantero & García Carrascosa 2002).
