Figure 5— The distribution of log transformed (log (x + 1)) abundance and weight of Coelorinchus c. carminatus at each station, plotted 



against depth. 



et al. (1979) may have a highly positive slope, but 

 these data are impossible to interpret without infor- 

 mation about length-frequency patterns with depth. 

 The temperatures at which C. c. carminatus were 

 captured varied from 4.3° to 11.3°C (Fig. 6). The 

 average temperature of collection was 7.6 °C. 



Nezumia aequalis (Gunther 1878) 



Nezumia aequalis is a closely related congener of 

 40 



N. bairdii and is found primarily south of the study 

 area (Marshall and Iwamoto 1973). Nezumia ae- 

 qualis attains a head length of at least 53 mm and 

 has a depth distribution of 200-1,000 m. Its
