Uroteuthis duvaucelii, also known as the Indian Ocean squid or Indian squid, is an Indo-West Pacific species of squid with a wide range throughout the Indian Ocean to Malaysia and the South China Sea, and is also present in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea.
These anatomical differences between squid and octopuses can help explain why squid can be found swimming comparably to fish while octopuses usually rely on other forms of locomotion on the sea floor such as bipedal walking, crawling, and non-jetting swimming. [82]

All fish in this article have true (visible) fish scales, an endoskeleton, fins, and gills (as opposed to lungs). The requirement for gills is not part of any religious rule, but biologically it is an identifying characteristic of true fish. Any animal lacking any of the latter three features is not a fish, and is therefore not valid for this ...
During the day the strawberry squid swims around in the twilight zone of the Atlantic Ocean in a range of about 660 to 3,300 feet below the surface. It can be found in tropical and subtropical waters.
H. heteropsis is generally found at ocean depths of 200–1000 meters (0.12–0.62 miles), which is considered part of the ocean's mesopelagic, or twilight, zone. [3] The species undergoes diurnal vertical migration, where they are found at lower depths during the day and migrate up the water column at night. [ 11 ]
Fish-eating birds of prey, such as sea eagles and ospreys, are also typically excluded, however tied to marine environments they may be. [6] Some birds, such as darters and anhingas , are primarily found in freshwater habitats, but may occasionally venture into marine or coastal areas as well; [ 7 ] [ 8 ] such birds are generally not considered ...
