Description
Summary:Lophotus capellei Temminck & Schlegel, 1845. North Pacific Crestfish . To at least 100 cm (39.4 in) SL (Craig et al. 2004). Possibly circumglobal (Fricke et al. 2020); well offshore, to 610 km (379 mi) off Point Arena, northern California and near coast to San Diego, southern California (Craig et al. 2004). Depth: surface (Fitch and Lavenberg 1968), intertidal to at least 1,100 m (3,608 ft) (min.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California; max: Fitch and Lavenberg 1968) and probably to greater depths. Previously regarded as belonging to the nearly worldwide species Lophotus lacepede, the North Pacific Ocean form was shown to be a different species (Craig et al. 2004).
