Pseudobathylagus milleri
Description
Pseudobathylagus milleri (Jordan & Gilbert, 1898).
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).
