Vinciguerria lucetia
Description
Vinciguerria lucetia (Garman, 1899).
Panama Lightfish. To 6.6 cm (2.6 in) SL (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Larvae found as far north as off San Francisco, northern California and metamorphosing individuals found as far north as central California (34°54’W) (Ahlstrom and Counts 1958) to northern Chile (Sielfeld et al. 1995), including Gulf of California (De La Cruz-Agüero and Galván-Magaña 1992). Depth: surface perhaps to 4,409 m (14,460 ft) (min.: Ahstrom and Counts 1958; max.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Deep records in both the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Los Angeles County Natural History fish collection databases are based on the maximum depth fished by a midwater trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth.
