description
To at least 16.4 cm (6.4 in) SL (Harry 1953). Southern California 32 ° 29 ’ N, 117 ° 32 ’ W (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California); Gulf of Panama; Chile; north of New Zealand (Ambrose in Moser 1996); Colombia (Beltrán-León and Rios Herrera 2000). Larvae captured along Baja California coast from Ensenada, northern Baja California to San Ignacio, southern Baja California (Funes-Rodríguez et al. 2011). Epipelagic to bathypelagic (Ambrose in Moser 1996); depth: 50 to perhaps 1,003 m (164 – 3,290 ft). The deepest record was based on the maximum depth fished by a midwater trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth. Considered a subspecies of Lestidiops jayakari by some authors (e. g., Mundy 2005).
