Mexican Lampfish . To 9 cm ( 3.5 in ) SL (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). British Columbia ( Gillespie 1993 ) to off southern Mexico ( Rodríguez-Graña et al. 2004 ), including Gulf of California ( De La Cruz-Agüero and Galván-Magaña 1992 ). Depth: surface to perhaps 2,882 m ( 9,453 ft ) (min.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California; max.: Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California). Maximum depth poorly known, most captures appear to be in 1,000 m ( 3,280 ft ) or less. Deeper records, such as 4,100 m ( 13,448 ft ) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), are based on the maximum depth fished by a midwater trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth. Triphoturus oculeus (Garman 1899) has been considered to be synonymous with Triphoturus mexicanus Gilbert, 1890 . However, on the basis of both DNA and larvae characters Rodríquez-Graña et al. (2004) separated the two species. Triphoturus oculeus is found from 13°N to 35°S .
