Cryptopsaras couesii Gill 1883
Description
Cryptopsaras couesii Gill, 1883.
Triplewart Seadevil. To 35.8 cm (14.1 in) TL (Pietsch 2009). Circumglobal, with overall latitudinal range of 63°N to 43°S (Pietsch 1986); Greenland; western Pacific Ocean north to Japan; New Zealand; Hawai’i (Pietsch 1986); British Columbia (49°29’N, 127°17’W) (Weil et al. 2015) to Peru (Pietsch 1986). Depth: 75–4,000 m (246–13,123 ft), but mostly taken at 500–1,250 m (1,640 –4,101 ft) (Pietsch 1986); reported at surface (Orlov and Tokranov 2019), but without documentation. Based on analyses of mtDNA, Bañón et al. (2019) found that Pacific and Atlantic specimens might represent cryptic species.
