Sagamichthys abei Parr 1953

Description

Sagamichthys abei Parr, 1953.

Shining Tubeshoulder. To 27.4 cm (10.8 in) SL (Matsui and Rosenblatt 1987). Southern Japan and Sea of Okhotsk (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to south-eastern Bering Sea (Maslenikov et al. 2013) to southern Chile (Matsui and Rosenblatt 1987). Primarily mesopelagic; depth: adults about 168–2,088 m (551–4,849 ft) (min.: DFO; max.: Stein 1985), and perhaps to 4,268 m (13,999 ft) (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California). Reported from shallower depths, these records likely represent juveniles; e.g., a record from 37 m (121 ft) (Berry and Perkins 1966) was considered a mistake by Matsui and Rosenblatt (1987), and one from 94 m (308 ft) (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California) is a specimen only 1.6 cm (0.6 in) in length.
