Trichiurus nitens Garman 1899

Description

Trichiurus nitens Garman, 1899.

Pacific Cutlassfish. To 82 cm (32.3 in) SL (Burhanuddin and Parin 2008). Hunter’s Point, Monterey County (37°43.8’N, 122°21.4’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), central California to Callao, Peru (Chirchigno 1974), including Gulf of California (Nakamura in Fischer et al. 1995), and Islas Galápagos (Grove and Lavenberg 1997). Depth: surface to 384 m (1,260 ft) (min.: Nakamura and Parin 1993; max.: Miller and Lea 1972). A much deeper capture (1,023 m, 3,355 ft) (Morera et al. 2019) was made with a bottom trawl and may represent a fish taken in midwaters either during net deployment or retrieval. Burhanuddin and Parin (2008) recognized T. nitens as distinct from other nominal Trichiurus species.
