Sigmops elongatus (Günther, 1878) .

To 27.5 cm (10.8 in) TL (Quéro et al. in Quéro et al. 1990). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to northern Japan ( Balanov et al. 2009); well offshore from California and Baja California (Watson in Moser 1996) to Chile ( Pequeño 1989). Depth: 25–1,500 m (83–4,920 ft) (Quéro et al. in Quéro et al. 1990). A record of 4,500 m (14,760 ft) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) was based on the maximum depth fished by a bottom trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth. Formerly Gonostoma elongatum Gunther, 1878 .
