Little Bigscale . To 8.4 cm ( 3.3 in ) SL (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California ). Northern California ( Ebeling 1962 ) to southern Baja California ( 24°29’N , 113°22’W ) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California ), and into tropics ( 3°10’N , 84°10’W ) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California ). Depth: juveniles as shallow as 75 m ( 246 ft ) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California ); 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.
