Argyropelecus aculeatus Valenciennes 1850
Description
Argyropelecus aculeatus Valenciennes, 1850.
Lovely Hatchetfish. To 8.3 cm (3.3 in) SL (Collette and Klein-MacPhee 2002). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to northern Japan (Aizawa in Nakabo 2002); central California (34°53.6’N, 121°30.2’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) to at least Ecuador (01°59’N, 84°15’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Depth: 160–2,250 m (548–7,380 ft) (min.: Lima et al. 2011; max.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). A record of 100 m in Froese and Pauly (2019), attributed to Shinohara et al. (1996), appears to be in error as Shinohara et al. lists 785 m as the shallowest catch. Deeper records (e.g., 4,100 m (13,448 ft) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California); 5,178 m (16,984 ft) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California)) may represent fish caught by trawls based on the maximum depth fished and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth.
