Aphanopus arigato Parin 1994
Description
Aphanopus arigato Parin, 1994.
Pacific Black Scabbardfish. To 120 cm (47.2 in) TL (Nakabo 2002). Japan, Kuril Islands (Nakamura and Parin 1993), and south-eastern Kamchatka (Sheiko and Fedorov 2000); British Columbia southward to near Punta Eugenia (27°33’N, 115°53W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), southern Baja California. Records from northern Chile (Nakamura and Parin 1993), Peru, and Islas Galápagos (McCosker et al. 1997) are likely Aphanopus capricornis Parin, 1994. Benthopelagic; depth: adults mostly at 800–1,350 m (2,624 –4,428 ft) (Nakamura and Parin 1993), at least one at about 498 m (1,620 ft) (Fitch and Gotshall 1972); juveniles mesopelagic, at 300–1,000 m (984– 3,280 ft) (Nakamura and Parin 1993); also reported at surface (Orlov and Tokranov 2019). North Pacific records of Aphanopus carbo Lowe, 1839, are now considered to belong to A. arigato, while A. carbo is recognized as an Atlantic Ocean taxon. Sometimes referred to as Aphanopus intermedius Parin, 1983, now considered to be an eastern Atlantic species (Fricke et al. 2020).
