This fish is native to the northeastern Pacific Ocean from British Columbia to Oregon, and the Gulf of California where it is found at depths of {{convert|100|to|850|m|ft|-2}}.[2] DescriptionThe California smoothtongue is a slender fish growing to a length of about {{convert|15|cm|in|0}}. The dorsal fin has 9 to 12 soft rays, the anal fin 11 to 14, the pectoral fin 8 to 9 and the pelvic fin 8 to 10. The dorsal fin is set well back on the body and the tail fin is deeply forked. The pectoral fins are small and positioned low down on the belly. The fish is darker above and paler below, being silvery or bronze with pale-coloured fins. A distinguishing feature for this fish is that the length of the pointed snout is greater than the diameter of the eye.[3] These fish are called "smoothtongue" because of their relative absence of teeth, with none on the premaxilla and tongue, and few on the jaws and the roof of the mouth.[5] BiologyThe California smoothtongue is the most common midwater fish off Santa Barbara, California. It makes daily vertical migrations. In the late afternoon and earlier part of the night it is to be found near the surface of the sea feeding mainly on salps and larvaceans; its mouth is adapted to pull in these inactive, gelatinous prey items by suction. It also consumes some ostracods, copepods and fish eggs. In the later part of the night it descends to deeper parts of the sea while in the morning it is at mid-depths.[4] The fish has a double-chambered stomach, the first chamber having a black pigment in its lining which may prevent the light from luminescent prey it has swallowed from being visible from the exterior.[4] The Californian smoothtongue is an oviparous (egg-laying) fish. Both eggs and larvae drift with the plankton.[2] This fish is plentiful at medium depths and forms part of the diet of larger fish, seabirds, sea lions, dolphins and the Humboldt squid.[3] References1. ^1 {{cite WoRMS |author=Bailly, Nicolas |year=2015 |title=Leuroglossus stilbius Gilbert, 1890 |id=313514 |accessdate=22 May 2016|db=}} 2. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.fishbase.org/summary/Leuroglossus-stilbius.html |title=Leuroglossus stilbius Gilbert, 1890 |publisher=FishBase |accessdate=22 May 2016}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.mexfish.com/fish/calsmoot/calsmoot.html |title=California Smoothtongue, Southern Smoothtongue, Lengua Suave (Leuroglossus stilbius) |publisher=MexFish.com |accessdate=23 May 2016 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160529133257/http://www.mexfish.com/fish/calsmoot/calsmoot.html |archivedate=29 May 2016 |df= }} 4. ^1 2 {{cite journal |author1=Cailliet, G.M. |author2=Ebeling, A.W. |year=1990 |title=The vertical distribution and feeding habits of two common midwater fishes (Leuroglossus stilbius and Stenobrachius leucopsarus) off Santa Barbara |journal=CalCOFI |volume=31 |url=http://calcofi.org/publications/calcofireports/v31/Vol_31_Cailliet___Ebeling.pdf }} External links
