Description

Poromitra jucunda Kotlyar, 2010.

To 5 cm (2 in) SL (Kotlyar 2010). Southern California (33°23’N, 118°47’W) (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California) to Chile (Sielfeld et al. 1995). Mesopelagic and bathypelagic; depth: primarily 150 to perhaps 2,000 m (495–6,560 ft) (min.: Sandknop and Watson in Moser 1996; max.: Aizawa in Nakabo 2002). Previously thought to be the circumglobal species Poromitra megalops (Lütken, 1877), Kotlyar (2010) referred to eastern and some central Pacific Ocean individuals as P. jucunda, and Indian Ocean and western and some central Pacific Ocean individuals as Poromitra macrophthalma (Gilchrist, 1903).
