Lepidion schmidti Svetovidov 1936

Description

* Lepidion schmidti Svetovidov, 1936.

Northern Gray Hakeling. To 1.1 m (43.3 in) SL (Roberts et al. 2015). Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and possibly southern Indian Ocean (Fricke et al. 2020); Emperor Seamounts, Pacific off southern Japan, and Sea of Okhotsk (Nakaya et al. 1980), to western Bering Sea off Commander Islands (Sheiko and Tranbenkova 1998). Benthopelagic; depth: 315–2,404 m (1,033 –7,885 ft) (min.: Dudnik and Dolganov 1992; max.: Porteiro et al. 2017). Two individuals of this genus, observed with an ROV off Adak Island, Aleutian Islands, may be L. schmidti or, perhaps, Lepidion inosimae (Günther, 1887) (Alcorn and Stone 2012), a western and central Pacific Ocean species known from as far northward as Kamchatka Peninsula (Fricke et al. 2020).
