Indo-Pacific (Whitehead 1985); north Pacific from south of Japan to southern Kamchatka and Commander Islands (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), and Cross Sound, south-eastern Alaska (Bruce Wing, pers. comm. to M.L.) to Gulf of California (Galván-Magaña et al. 1996), and Islas Galápagos (Grove and Lavenberg 1997). Pelagic; depth: surface (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), intertidal to 383 m (1,256 ft) (min.: Carlisle et al. 1960; max.: Jacobsen Stout et al. 2016) or perhaps to 982 m (3,221 ft) (Bradburn et al. 2011), although this latter depth was based on a bottom trawl catch and may represent fish caught well above the bottom.
