description
Dwarf Lanternfish. To 5 cm (2 in) SL (Nafpaktitis et al. 1977). Circumglobal; northern California (Matarese et al. 1989) to tropical eastern Pacific (Wisner 1976). Larvae as far north as Oregon (Matarese et al. 1989) and as far south as well-off Chile (about 20 ° S, 94 ° W) (Moser and Ahlstrom 1970). Depth: surface to 1,050 m (3,445 ft) (min.: Wisner 1976; max.: Nafpaktitis et al. 1977) or perhaps to 3,290 m (10,791 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. Includes records of Loweina laurae Wisner, 1971.
