Brama dussumieri Cuvier 1831

Brama dussumieri Cuvier, 1831.

Lesser Bream. To 22.5 cm (8.9 in) SL (Froese and Pauly 2019). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to Japan (Nakabo 2002); inclusion here based on a 1.1 cm (0.4 in) specimen captured off southern California (33°05’N, 117°39’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), and the statement in Moser (1996) that larvae were taken in the “southern part of the CalCOFI pattern,” which we take to mean off southern Baja California; Guatamala to Chile (Froese and Pauly 2019; note that we were unable to verify this record). Depth: surface to 439 m (1,440 ft) (min.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California; max.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). A record of 3,000 m (9,840 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.
