Chiasmodon niger Johnson, 1864. Black Swallower . To 23.6 cm (9.3 in) SL (Melo 2009). Eastern Pacific, from to west coast of North, Central, and northern South America (Melo 2009); in mid-North Pacific recorded north to 43°N (Mecklenburg et al. 2002); in eastern North Pacific from Washington (Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington, 47°33’N, 125°19’W; UW 045555) to southern Baja California (24°27’N) (Cruz-Acevedo et al. 2018). Mesopelagic and bathypelagic, 183–4,568 m (600–1,498 ft) (min.: Robertson et al. 2017; max.: Melo 2009). We follow Prokofiev (2014) and consider Chiasmodon subniger Garman, 1899 to be a junior synonym. However, we note that Fricke et al. (2020) consider C. subniger to be a valid species. : 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 191, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008 : {"references": ["Melo, M.
