Notoscopelus resplendens
Description
Notoscopelus resplendens (Richardson, 1845).
Patchwork Lampfish. To 9.8 cm (3.9 in) TL (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to Japan and southern Kuril Islands (Parin et al. 1995) to British Columbia (Peden 2003) and to southern California and to Chile (Wisner 1976). Mesopelagic (Hulley and Paxton in Carpenter and De Angelis 2016); depth: surface to 4,268 m (13,999 ft) (min.: Hulley in Smith and Heemstra 1986; max.: Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California). Although Clemens and Wilby (1961) and Hart (1973) give 13.5 cm (5.3 in) for the maximum length, this evidently comes from a British Columbia fish (Hart’s illustration (page 195) is of a 13-cm fish in the UBC collection) which is not this species but may be a misidentified Lampanyctus species (Peden et al. 1985, Peden and Hughes 1986).
