Loweina rara (Lütken, 1892). Dwarf Lanternfish . To 5 cm (2 in) SL (Nafpaktitis et al. 1977). Circumglobal; northern California (Matarese et al. 1989) to tropical eastern Pacific (Wisner 1976). Larvae as far north as Oregon (Matarese et al. 1989) and as far south as well-off Chile (about 20°S, 94°W) (Moser and Ahlstrom 1970). Depth: surface to 1,050 m (3,445 ft) (min.: Wisner 1976; max.: Nafpaktitis et al. 1977) or perhaps to 3,290 m (10,791 ft) (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California). The latter record is based on a midwater trawl catch and the depth of capture may have been above the maximum tow depth. Includes records of Loweina laurae Wisner, 1971. : 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 70, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008 : {"references": ["Nafpaktitis, B., Backus, R.
