Argyropelecus aculeatus Valenciennes, 1850. Lovely Hatchetfish . To 8.3 cm (3.3 in) SL (Collette and Klein-MacPhee 2002). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to northern Japan (Aizawa in Nakabo 2002); central California (34°53.6’N, 121°30.2’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) to at least Ecuador (01°59’N, 84°15’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Depth: 160–2,250 m (548–7,380 ft) (min.: Lima et al. 2011; max.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). A record of 100 m in Froese and Pauly (2019), attributed to Shinohara et al. (1996), appears to be in error as Shinohara et al. lists 785 m as the shallowest catch. Deeper records (e.g., 4,100 m (13,448 ft) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California); 5,178 m (16,984 ft) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California)) may represent fish caught by trawls based on the maximum depth fished and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth. : Published as part of Love, Milton S., Bizzarro, Joseph J., Cornthwaite, Maria, Frable, Benjamin W. & Maslenikov, Katherine P., 2021, Checklist of marine and estuarine fishes from the Alaska-Yukon Border, Beaufort Sea, to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, pp. 1-285 in Zootaxa 5053 (1) on page 56, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008 : {"references": ["Collette, B.
