Larvae have been taken further southward at about 26°N, 115°W, in southern Baja California (Moser et al. 1977), and a pelagic juvenile was taken in a purse seine at 26°39’N, 114°33’W, southern Baja California (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Depth: juveniles near surface and in inshore waters; adults at about 20–475 m (66–1,558 ft) (min.: Mecklenburg et al. 2002; max.: Allen and Smith 1988); one juvenile reported from tide pool (Moring 1972).
