To 23.2 cm ( 9.1 in ) SL (Gibbs in Quéro et al. 1990 ). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to Japan (Fujii in Masuda et al. 1984 ); San Juan Seamount, southern California and well-off Point Conception, California ( Berry and Perkins 1966 ), and Isla Guadalupe , central Baja California (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California). Mesopelagic; depth: 0–1,460 m ( 4,789 ft ) ( Roberts et al. 2015 ). A record of 3,274 m ( 10,740 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.
