description
Spotted Lizardfish. To 48 cm (18.9 in) TL (Amezcua Linares 1996). Bahía de Sebastian Vizcaino, southern Baja California (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) to Bahía de Chilea, Peru (Chirichigno 1974), including Gulf of California (Robertson and Allen 2002). Benthic: depth: surface (nightlight; Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), 10 – 300 m (33 – 984 ft) (min.: Allen and Robertson 1994; max.: Morales-Nin 1992). Large genetic differences in fish taken off Central America imply that this may be a species complex (Robertson et al. 2017).
