Distribution. Endemic to N Pacific Ocean, the majority ofrecords come from W North America from 32° 42° N to 54° 18' N, also recorded on the Pacific coast ofJapan from 35% to 41° 42° N. This suggests that distribution of this species spans the N Pacific Ocean, but with no records from the C Pacific Ocean, it remains possible that there are separate E and W populations. It has been suggested that distribution of this species is related to the deep current system of the subarctic. in Ziphiidae

This suggests that distribution of this species spans the N Pacific Ocean, but with no records from the C Pacific Ocean, it remains possible that there are separate E and W populations. It has been suggested that distribution of this species is related to the deep current system of the subarctic. Published as part of Russell A. Mittermeier & Don E.
