Bathylagoides wesethi
Description
Bathylagoides wesethi (Bolin, 1938).
Snubnose Blacksmelt. To about 13.5 cm (5.3 in) SL (Savinykh 1999). Oregon (Matarese et al. 1989) to off Bahía Magdalena (24°10.9’N, 113°06.9’W), southern Baja California (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), Gulf of California (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), and well-off Ecuador (03°30’S, 112°01.5’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Pelagic and mesopelagic; depth: 25–1,130 m (82–3,706 ft) (min.: Childress and Nygaard 1973; 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 deepest capture was made with a midwater trawl that may have taken the specimen shallower than the deepest tow depth.
