Eutaeniophorus festivus

Eutaeniophorus festivus (Bertelsen & Marshall, 1956). Festive Ribbontail. To 5.7 cm (2.2 in) TL (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to Japan (Aizawa in Nakabo 2002); Oregon to Ecuador (Charter and Moser in Moser 1996). Depth: perhaps 0–200 m (656 ft) (Mundy 2005). A record of 2,887 m (9,468 ft) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) was based on the maximum depth fished by a midwater trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth. We note that Fricke et al. (2020) state that this species is not found in the eastern Pacific.Published as part of Love, Milton S., Bizzarro, Joseph J., Cornthwaite, Maria, Frable, Benjamin W. & Maslenikov, Katherine P., 2021, Checklist of marine and estuarine fishes from the Alaska-Yukon Border, Beaufort Sea, to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, pp. 1-285 in Zootaxa 5053 (1) on page 100, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/557800
