Taaningichthys minimus (Tåning, 1928). To 7 cm (2.6 in) SL (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to Ogasawara Islands, Japan (Fujii in Masuda et al. 1984);southern California (31°44’N, 120°07’W) (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California) to well off Peru (Wisner 1976). Mesopelagic (Hulley and Paxton in Carpenter and De Angelis 2016); depth: 0–5,041 m (16,534 ft) (min.: Porteiro et al. 2017; max.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). The deepest record was based on the maximum depth fished by a midwater trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth.
