Sagamichthys abei Parr, 1953 .

Shining Tubeshoulder. To 27.4 cm (10.8 in) SL ( Matsui and Rosenblatt 1987). Southern Japan and Sea of Okhotsk (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to south-eastern Bering Sea ( Maslenikov et al. 2013) to southern Chile ( Matsui and Rosenblatt 1987). Primarily mesopelagic; depth: adults about 168–2,088 m (551–4,849 ft) (min.: DFO; max.: Stein 1985), and perhaps to 4,268 m (13,999 ft) (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California). Reported from shallower depths, these records likely represent juveniles; e.g., a record from 37 m (121 ft) ( Berry and Perkins 1966) was considered a mistake by Matsui and Rosenblatt (1987), and one from 94 m (308 ft) (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California) is a specimen only 1.6 cm (0.6 in) in length.
