Taaningichthys paurolychnus Davy 1972

Description

Taaningichthys paurolychnus Davy, 1972.

Dimlight Lampfish. To 9.5 cm (3.7 in) SL (Wisner 1976). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to Ogasawara Islands, Japan (Fujii in Masuda et al. 1984); central California (35°18.7’N, 123°05.5’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) to southern Baja California (24°39.6’N, 113°17.9’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Bathypelagic (Hulley and Paxton in Carpenter and De Angelis 2016); depth: 200–2,868 m (656–9,407 ft) (min.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California; max.: Stein 1985). A record of 4,098 m (13,440 ft) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) was based on the maximum depth fished by a midwater trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth.
