Highlight Hatchetfish . To 7 cm ( 2.8 in ) SL (Aizawa in Nakabo 2002 ). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to Japan (Fujii in Masuda et al. 1984 ); British Columbia ( Peden 1975 ) to Chile ( Baird 1971 ). Depth: 156–2,300 m ( 492–7,544 ft ) (min.: Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California; max.: Porteiro et al. 2017 ). A record of 5,041 m ( 16,383 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.
