Distribution map of Candacia columbiae by geographical zones
Species Candacia columbiae - Distribution map 2issued from : N.A. Sedova in Zool. Zh., 2008, 87 (11). [p.9, Fig.6].
Number of individuals off Kamchatka Peninsula: a in 2001; b, in 2002.
little circle: 1-10 specimens; large circle: 11-25 specimens.
Loc:
? SE Indian, Arabian Sea, China Seas (East China Sea), Taiwan (NW, N), Japan Sea, off Sanriku, Japan, Hokkaido, Station Knot, Kuril-Kamtchatka, S Okhotsk Sea, S Bering Sea, S Aleutian Basin, S Aleutian Is., Pacif. (subarctic central), Station 'P', G. of Alaska (Auke Bay, Icy Strait), British Columbia, Fjord system (Alice Arm & Hastings Arm), Portland Inlet, Strait of Georgia, Oregon (off Newport)California, W Baja California
N: 41 (Indian: 3; Pacif.: 38)
Lg.:
(22) F: 4,1-3,7; M: 4,5-3,2; (59) F: 3,8-3,7; M: 3,6-3,2; (91) F: ± 4,1; (141) F: 3,7; M: 3,5-3,2; (208) F: 4,6; M: 3,95; (1093) F: 3,1-5,0; M: 3,85-4,75; {F: 3,10-5,00; M: 3,20-4,75}

The mean female size is 3.978 mm (n = 9; SD = 0.5585), and the mean male size is 3.785 mm (n = 10; SD = 0.5493). The size ratio (male : female) is 0.95 (n = 6; SD = 0.0752).

Chiba S. & al., 2015 (p.971, Table 1: Total length female (June-July) = 4.2 mm [optimal SST (°C) = 6.2].
Rem.: epi-mesopelagic.
After Grice (1963, p.175) it is probable that Tsuryta's & al (1957) record of C. pacifica (= C. columbiae) from the tropical eastern Indian Ocean is a misidentification, because C. columbiae is a north Pacific cold-water species.
