To at least 16.4 cm ( 6.4 in ) SL ( Harry 1953 ). Southern California 32°29’N , 117°32’W (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California); Gulf of Panama ; Chile ; north of New Zealand (Ambrose in Moser 1996 ); Colombia ( Beltrán-León and Rios Herrera 2000 ). Larvae captured along Baja California coast from Ensenada, northern Baja California to San Ignacio, southern Baja California (Funes-Rodríguez et al. 2011). Epipelagic to bathypelagic (Ambrose in Moser 1996 ); depth: 50 to perhaps 1,003 m ( 164–3,290 ft ). The deepest record was based on the maximum depth fished by a midwater trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth. Considered a subspecies of Lestidiops jayakari by some authors (e.g., Mundy 2005 ).
