Pseudobathylagus milleri (Jordan & Gilbert, 1898). Stout Blacksmelt . To 22 cm (8.7 in) TL (Kamikawa 2017). Southern Honshu, Japan and southern Sea of Okhotsk, to Bering Sea (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), to Isla Guadalupe, central Baja California (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Generally mesopelagic and bathypelagic and not ascending to epipelagic depths; depth: 60 (197 ft) to perhaps 1,299 m (4,261 ft) (min.: Miller and Lea 1972; max.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). A maximum depth of 6,600 m (Kanayama in Amaoka et al. 1983) is considered unlikely and probably reflects “incidental catches during trawl hauling to the surface” (Fujii et al. 2010).
