1996). Southern Japan (Pietsch 1973) and southern Kuril Islands (Parin et al. 1995) to Bering Sea (Balanov<br />
and Fedorov 1996) and western Gulf <strong>of</strong> Alaska to Gulf <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong> (Pietsch 1973). Mesopelagic and<br />
bathypelagic to bathybenthic, collected at depths to 2,900 m (9,514 ft) over bottom depths <strong>of</strong> 805–<br />
5,920 m (2,641–19,422 ft; Mecklenburg et al. 2002).<br />
Chaenophryne draco Beebe, 1932. Smoothhead Dreamer. To 9.7 cm (3.8 in) SL (Stewart and Pietsch 1998).<br />
Circumglobal; Japan and Hawaiian Islands (Pietsch 1975); Point Reyes, northern <strong>California</strong> (SIO<br />
67-122) to northern Peru (4°10'S, 81°27'W; SIO 78-37), midocean west <strong>of</strong> Peru (4°20'S, 116°46'W;<br />

(656 ft) and an unknown lower limit, evidently concentrated at 300–1,000 m (984–3,281 ft), mostly<br />
