Distribution
This species occurs in the Pacific Ocean off the Galapagos Islands.
gollark: And the existence of the simulators would make them probably not very good, since they'd need to simulate *themselves* or leave out important data.
gollark: Yes, that would actually be very hard.
gollark: You can't really do theory unless you have empirical stuff to look at, since you're mostly just reduced to "well my assumptions are better"/"but I prefer this".
gollark: Sadly, no governments are particularly enthused about the idea.
gollark: Ideally we would be able to run randomised controlled trials on different subregions of the planet.
