Taaningichthys bathyphilus
Description
Taaningichthys bathyphilus (Tåning, 1928).
Black Lampfish. To 8 cm (3.1 in) SL (Nafpaktitis et al. 1977). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to Japan (Fujii in Masuda et al. 1984), to Oregon (Matarese et al. 1989), to southern Baja California (24°26’N, 113°18’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California); South America (Wisner 1976). Mesopelagic and bathypelagic (Hulley and Paxton in Carpenter and De Angelis 2016); depth: 36–2,500 m (118–8,200 ft) (min.: Porteiro et al. 2017; max.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). The deepest record was based on the maximum depth fished by a midwater trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth.
