California Flashlightfish. To 5.5 cm (2.2 in) SL (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Northern Japan (Nakabo in Nakabo 2002); southern British Columbia (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to southern Baja California (26 ° 32.5 ’ N, 114 ° 55.3 ’ W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California); well offshore Baja California further southward (21 ° 27.2 ’ N, 123 ° 07.2 ’ W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California); Chile (Pequeño 1989). Depth: surface to 950 m (3,117 ft) (min.: Matarese et al. 1989; max.: Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California), and perhaps to 4,268 m (13,999 ft) (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California). The latter record is based on a midwater trawl catch and the depth of capture may have been above the maximum tow depth
