Harriotta raleighana Goode & Bean 1895

Description

Harriotta raleighana Goode & Bean, 1895.

Longnose Chimaera, Pacific Longnose Chimaera, or Narrow-nose Chimaera. To 120 cm (47.2 in) TL (Ebert 2003). Circumglobal; Western Pacific Ocean from southern China to southern Japan (Nakabo in Nakabo 2002; Dagit et al. 2016); southern California (verified at 32°16.3’N, 119°04.1’W) (NWFSC-FRAM) to Gulf of California (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983); Colima, Mexico (Castro-Aguirre et al. 2007); Puntarenas, Costa Rica (9°26N, 85°29’W) (Angulo et al. 2014); Peru (3°47’S, 81°28’W) (Chirichigno and Vélez 1998). Depth: at least 350–2,600 m (1,148 –8,538 ft) (Weigmann 2016). Weigmann (2016) reports that the 2,603 m (8,538 ft) report in some publications is based on a fish that was reidentified as Harriota haeckeli Karrer, 1972. Reist in Coad and Reist (2018) give a maximum depth of 3,100 m (10,168 ft), but we were unable to document the source of that datum.
