It occurs abundantly in coastal waters from the North Sea to at least the west coast of Africa. This species lives from sea level to depths of 500 m (1,600 ft). Its mantle is up to 40 cm (16 in) long. The species is extensively exploited ...
Loligo is a genus of squid and one of the most representative and widely distributed groups of myopsid squid. The genus was first described by Jean Baptiste Lamarck in 1798. However, the name had been used earlier than Lamarck ( Schneider , 1784; Linnaeus , 1758 ) and might even have been used by Pliny .

Adult sizes range from the dwarf Australiteuthis and Pickfordiateuthis, whose males mature at less than 2 cm (0.79 in) in mantle length (ML), [4] [5] to the largest species Loligo forbesii, which has been measured to 93.7 cm (3.07 ft) ML. [6] [7] The earliest fossils of this group are Loligo statoliths from the early Eocene of North America.
Loligo reynaudii, commonly known as the Cape Hope squid, is a 20–30 cm (7.9–11.8 in) long squid belonging to the family Loliginidae. In South Africa it is known as either calamari or chokka. It was previously treated as a subspecies of Loligo vulgaris, the European squid. [3]
Loligo (Alloteuthis) Wülker, 1920 Alloteuthis is a genus of squids from the pencil squid family Loliginidae which has been considered a subgenus of the genus Loligo but both molecular analyses and morphological-anatomical analyses support the separation of these two taxa.
