Depth patterns of size and abundance in a pelagic bristlemouth fish Cyclothone pallida (Stomiformes: Gonostomatidae) are reported. Sampling was conducted during the day and night at two sites in the Bahamas using a Multiple Opening and Closing Net and Electronic Sensing System (MOCNESS). All samples show peak abundance in the 500-700 m depth range irrespective of time or sampling location. The mean and variance of body length increased with depth, and size - Depth patterns do not significantly differ among samples. Results suggest that these populations of C. pallida do not exhibit did vertical migration.
