Pteraclis aesticola (Jordan & Snyder, 1901) .

Pacific Fanfish. To 61 cm (24 in) TL (Miller and Lea 1972). Cosmopolitan; western Pacific Ocean north to Japan (Hatooka in Nakabo 2002); northern California (37°50’N, 125°00’W; Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) to Chile (Pequeño 1989). Pelagic; depth: 0–100 m (328 ft) (Mundy 2005). Deeper records (e.g., 2,000 m, 6,650 ft, Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) are based on the maximum depth fished by a midwater trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth.
