Northern Smoothtongue . To 20 cm ( 7.9 in ) SL or more ( Mason and Phillips 1985 ). Northern Honshu, Japan to Sea of Okhotsk to Bering Sea (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to southern British Columbia ( Peden 1981 ). Adults primarily epipelagic to upper mesopelagic; depth: near surface to 1,800 m ( 5,905 ft ) (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Classified in Bathylagus by some authors. Records from south of British Columbia (e.g., Lauth (1999) from Point Conception, California) likely relate to L. stilbius ( Peden 1981 , Dunn 1983; nomenclatural history is summarized in Mecklenburg et al. 2002).
