Northern Pearleye . To 28 cm ( 11 in ) TL or more (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Japan (Nakabo in Nakabo 2002 ), to Sea of Okhotsk, and western Bering Sea ( Orlov 1998 ), eastern Bering Sea ( 58°30’N , 177°52’W ) ( Maslenikov et al. 2013 ), and Gulf of Alaska ( Johnson 1974 ), to Isla Guadalupe , central Baja California (Watson and Sandknop in Moser 1996 ); also at 10°21’N , 96°12’W (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), and 10°31.3’N , 126°00’W (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Primarily mesopelagic; depth: 59–1,502 m ( 196–4,927 ft ) (min.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California; max.: Shinohara et al. 2009 ) and perhaps to 2,083 m ( 6,832 ft ) ( Milkova et al. 2016 ). A report of a catch at 3,400 m ( 11,155 ft , Fedorov 2000 (Personal communication: Russian Academy of Science Ichthyological Collecton at Saint Petersberg)) may be problematic, as this is a mesopelagic species; the specimen may have entered the net above the maximum depth of the tow ( Love et al. 2005 ).
