Protomyctophum crockeri (Bolin, 1939). California Flashlightfish. To 5.5 cm (2.2 in) SL (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Northern Japan (Nakabo in Nakabo 2002); southern British Columbia (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to southern Baja California (26°32.5’N, 114°55.3’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California); well offshore Baja California further southward (21°27.2’N, 123°07.2’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California); Chile (Pequeño 1989). Depth: surface to 950 m (3,117 ft) (min.: Matarese et al. 1989; max.: Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California), and perhaps to 4,268 m (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 72, DOI:10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008
