Engraulis mordax Girard 1854
Description
Engraulis mordax Girard, 1854.
Northern Anchovy. To 24.8 cm (9.7 in) TL (Whitehead et al. 1988). One record off Yakutat, eastern Gulf of Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002); Haida Gwaii, British Columbia to Cabo San Lucas, southern Baja California (Miller and Lea 1972), and Gulf of California (Hammann and Cisneros-Mata 1989). Depth: surface (M.L., pers. obs.), intertidal to 528 m (1,732 ft) (min.: Chotkowski 1994; max: Jacobsen Stout et al. 2016). We note that, as of March 2021, the NWFSC-FRAM database, based on bottom trawl surveys, has six records deeper than 528 m: 529 m, 1,735 ft, 543 m, 1,781 ft, 571 m, 873 ft, 601 m, 1,981 ft, 806 m, 2,644 ft, and 945 m, 3,100 ft), thus while these may represent catches made in the water column during net deployment or retrieval, the species may enter waters deeper than the current published maximum.
