Berry’s Grenadier or Midwater Grenadier. To 41 cm (16.1 in) TL (Iwamoto and Williams 1999). Circumglobal (Fricke et al. 2020); southern California (Ambrose in Moser 1996) to southern Baja California (Iwamoto and Schneider in Fischer et al. 1995), to Hawai’i and Christmas Island (Ambrose in Moser 1996). Mainly bathypelagic; depth: surface to 2,700 m (8,858 ft) (min.: Iwamoto and Schneider in Fischer et al. 1995; max.: Ambrose in Moser 1996).
