Chiasmodon niger Johnson 1864
Description
Chiasmodon niger Johnson, 1864.
Black Swallower. To 23.6 cm (9.3 in) SL (Melo 2009). Eastern Pacific, from to west coast of North, Central, and northern South America (Melo 2009); in mid-North Pacific recorded north to 43°N (Mecklenburg et al. 2002); in eastern North Pacific from Washington (Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington, 47°33’N, 125°19’W; UW 045555) to southern Baja California (24°27’N) (Cruz-Acevedo et al. 2018). Mesopelagic and bathypelagic, 183–4,568 m (600–1,498 ft) (min.: Robertson et al. 2017; max.: Melo 2009). We follow Prokofiev (2014) and consider Chiasmodon subniger Garman, 1899 to be a junior synonym. However, we note that Fricke et al. (2020) consider C. subniger to be a valid species.
