Abstract
Two specimens of Bassogigas profundissimus (Pisces: Brotulidae) are reported from Tufts Abyssal Plain in the North Pacific Ocean. These specimens are the first from the Pacific Ocean, the largest known (one 302 mm SL, the other ca. 230 mm SL), and the shallowest (5180 m) captured. Allometric growth in head length, horizontal eye diameter, and dorsal, anal, and pectoral fin lengths is evident. The swimbladder of each fish is contained in a tough, inelastic capsule.
