Not much is known about a barreleye fish's reproduction but it has been concluded that they are oviparous (egg-laying) with planktonic larvae. They are also thought to be pelagic spawners, which means that females will lay eggs in water and males will release sperm into the water. After this, the eggs will be fertilized in the water. These fertilized eggs are planktonic in nature and they are also buoyant. They will float around in shallow depths and drift with passing currents. As they grow into adults, the barreleye fish will gradually move into greater depths where they will learn to survive. <ref name=FactsLegend>Baidya, Sankalan.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) used a remotely controlled vehicle (ROV) to survey the barreleye in its natural habitat. It recorded it just swimming stationary and motionless throughout the whole time. <ref name=FactsLegend>Baidya, Sankalan.
