Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to Japan (Nakabo in Nakabo 2002) and east of Kuril Islands ( Savinykh et al. 2004); off Brookings, Oregon (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California) to Chile ( Pequeño 1989). Mesopelagic (Hulley and Paxton in Carpenter and De Angelis 2016); depth: surface to 1,537 m (5,041 ft) ( Orlov and Tokranov 2019), and perhaps to 4,268 ft (13,999 ft) (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California). The latter record is based on a midwater trawl catch and the depth of capture may have been above the maximum tow depth
