75 m
(
246 ft
) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla,

); adults mostly below
200 m
(
656 ft
) (Sandknop and Watson in
Moser 1996
) to at least
2,350 m
(
7,708 ft
) (
Stein 1985
). A record of
3,915 m
(
12,840 ft
) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla,
California
) was based on the maximum depth fished by a midwater trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth.
