Melamphaes parvus Ebeling, 1962. Little Bigscale . To 8.4 cm (3.3 in) SL (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Northern California (Ebeling 1962) to southern Baja California (24°29’N, 113°22’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), and into tropics (3°10’N, 84°10’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Depth: juveniles as shallow as 75 m (246 ft) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California); adults mostly below 200 m (656 ft) (Sandknop and Watson in Moser 1996) to at least 2,350 m (7,708 ft) (Stein 1985). A record of 3,915 m (12,840 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. : 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 98, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008 : {"references": ["Ebeling, A.
