California Flashlightfish . To 5.5 cm ( 2.2 in ) SL (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Northern Japan (Nakabo in Nakabo 2002 ); southern British Columbia (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to southern Baja California ( 26°32.5’N , 114°55.3’W ) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California); well offshore Baja California further southward ( 21°27.2’N , 123°07.2’W ) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California); Chile ( Pequeño 1989 ). Depth: surface to 950 m ( 3,117 ft ) (min.: Matarese et al. 1989 ; max.: Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California), and perhaps to 4,268 m ( 13,999 ft ) (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California). The latter record is based on a midwater trawl catch and the depth of capture may have been above the maximum tow depth
