Summary:Myctophum nitidulum Garman, 1899. Pearly Lanternfish. To 10.5 cm (4.1 in) SL (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to Japan (Nakabo in Nakabo 2002) and east of Kuril Islands (Savinykh et al. 2004); off Brookings, Oregon (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California) to Chile (Pequeño 1989). Mesopelagic (Hulley and Paxton in Carpenter and De Angelis 2016); depth: surface to 1,537 m (5,041 ft) (Orlov and Tokranov 2019), and perhaps to 4,268 ft (13,999 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 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
