Tarletonbeania crenularis (Jordan & Gilbert, 1880). Blue Lanternfish or Southern Blue Lanternfish. To 12.7 cm (5 in) TL (Miller and Lea 1972). South of Commander Islands (Love et al. 2005) and Aleutian Islands to Gulf of Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to southern Baja California (25°34’N, 115°05’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California); probably also in Bering Sea but voucher specimens are lacking (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Reported by Bekker (1983) from Japan, but evidently those records are now considered to belong to T. taylori (Nakabo in Nakabo 2002). Depth: surface to 1,496 m (4,907 ft) (min.: Wisner 1976; max.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). A record of 4,335 m (14,220 ft) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) was based on the maximum depth fished by a midwater trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth.
