In the energy-scarce deep ocean, sustained chases would be metabolically costly. Ambush tactics conserve energy while maximizing capture success when prey comes within reach.
This strategy aligns with anatomical evidence suggesting power and grip strength matter more than endurance in Antarctic deep-sea ecosystems.
