Ichthyococcus elongatus Imai, 1941 .

Slim Lightfish. To 14 cm (5.5 in) SL ( Balanov et al. 2009). Western Pacific Ocean north to Japan (Fujii in Masuda et al. 1984) and southern Kuril Islands ( Parin et al. 1995); near Vancouver Island, British Columbia ( Peden and Hughes 1986) to southern Baja California ( Berry and Perkins 1966). Mesopelagic (Fujii in Masuda et al. 1984); depth: 100–1,948 m (328–6,389 ft) ( Kamikawa 2017). A record of a possible maximum depth of 5,488 m (18,000 ft) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) was based on the maximum depth fished by a midwater trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth.
