Stout Blacksmelt . To 22 cm ( 8.7 in ) TL ( Kamikawa 2017 ). Southern Honshu, Japan and southern Sea of Okhotsk, to Bering Sea (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), to Isla Guadalupe , central Baja California (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Generally mesopelagic and bathypelagic and not ascending to epipelagic depths; depth: 60 ( 197 ft ) to perhaps 1,299 m ( 4,261 ft ) (min.: Miller and Lea 1972 ; max.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). A maximum depth of 6,600 m (Kanayama in Amaoka et al. 1983 ) is considered unlikely and probably reflects “incidental catches during trawl hauling to the surface” ( Fujii et al. 2010 ).
