description
Dimlight Lampfish. To 9.5 cm (3.7 in) SL (Wisner 1976). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to Ogasawara Islands, Japan (Fujii in Masuda et al. 1984); central California (35 ° 18.7 ’ N, 123 ° 05.5 ’ W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) to southern Baja California (24 ° 39.6 ’ N, 113 ° 17.9 ’ W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Bathypelagic (Hulley and Paxton in Carpenter and De Angelis 2016); depth: 200 – 2,868 m (656 – 9,407 ft) (min.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California; max.: Stein 1985). A record of 4,098 m (13,440 ft) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) was based on the maximum depth fished by a midwater trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth.
