description
To 31.2 cm (12.3 in) SL (Machida et al. 1997). Indo-Pacific; western Pacific Ocean north to Miyagi Prefecture, Japan (Ohashi et al. 2012); northern Baja California (32 ° 02 ’ N, 117 ° 48 ’ W) (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California) to south of equator (14 ° 46 ’ S, 93 ° 38 ’ W) (Cohen 1974). Pelagic and perhaps benthopelagic (Nielsen and Cohen in Nielsen et al. 1999); depth: taken in nets fished between surface and 300 m (984 ft) to 1,200 m (3,936 ft) (Cohen 1974). A record of 940 m (3,083 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.
