description
Sunbeam Lampfish or Torchlight Lanternfish. To 23.7 cm (9.3 in) SL (Karnella 1987). Western Pacific Ocean north to Japan; British Columbia (Peden and Hughes 1986) to Chile (Pequeño 1989), and westward to Hawai’i (Wisner 1976). Mesopelagic (Hulley and Paxton in Carpenter and De Angelis 2016); depth: near surface to 1,000 m (3,280 ft) (Moore et al. 2003), and perhaps to 4,268 m (13,999 ft) (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California). This latter record was based on the maximum depth fished by a midwater trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth.
