Thaleichthys pacificus (Richardson, 1837). Candlefish, Eulachon, or Hooligan. To 25.4 cm (10 in) TL (Miller and Lea 1972). Eastern Bering Sea from west of Saint Matthew Island and off Kuskokwim Bay and Nushagak River, and Bowers Bank, central Aleutian Islands to southern California (34°N) (Bradburn et al. 2011). Near coast; depth: surface to 150 m (492 ft) (Pietsch and Orr 2019). However, there are a number of records from much greater depths, such as 625 m (2,050 ft) (Allen and Smith 1988), 613 m (2,011 ft) (NWFSC-FRAM), 533 m (1,748 ft) (Hoff and Britt 2003), 552 m (1,811 ft), 466 m (1,528 ft), and 463 ft (1,519 ft) (DFO). All of these records are from bottom trawls and while they all may represent fish that entered the nets above the maximum fishing depths the relative frequency of catches in these deep waters implies that at least some of these records are legitimate.
