Bigfin Lanternfish or California Lanternfish. To about 12.7 cm ( 5 in ) TL ( Fitch and Lavenberg 1968 ). Japan (Fujii in Masuda et al. 1984 ), and Russian north-western Pacific ( Orlov and Tokranov 2019 ), to west of British Columbia ( Peden et al. 1985 ), to southern Baja California ( 24°14’N , 114°12’) (Personal communication: National Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Washington, D.C). Not adequately documented for Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), but reported from northern British Columbia off Haida Gwaii, including one specimen very close to the Alaska border ( Love et al. 2005 ). Depth: surface to 1,514 m ( 4,966 ft ) (min.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California; max.: Shinohara et al. 2009 ). Records of 2,744 m ( 9,000 ft ) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), and 3,824 m ( 12,543 ft ) (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California) was based on the maximum depth fished by a midwater trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth.
