Seasonal variation in diet was indicated; pelagic Atlantic herring (Clupea hareugus) was the most important prey in summer, but was rare in winter.

The researchers focused on Atlantic herring off Georges Bank near Boston during the fall spawning season.

A sub-type of the North American virus has also been isolated from Atlantic herring and Greenland halibut in the Atlantic Ocean.
