The hummingbird bobtail squid is widespread throughout the tropical waters of the central Indo-Pacific area from Indonesia to the Philippines. [5] It is also possible that a larger distribution could reach the Andaman Islands, Sri Lanka and the western coast of India (some specimens were collected by scientists in 200-/2007). [6]
Bobtail squid (order Sepiolida) [1] are a group of cephalopods closely related to cuttlefish. Bobtail squid tend to have a rounder mantle than cuttlefish and have no cuttlebone . They have eight suckered arms and two tentacles and are generally quite small (typical male mantle length being between 1 and 8 cm (0.39 and 3.15 in)).
Sepiola atlantica has a latitudinal range from 65ºN to 35ºN, ranging from Iceland, the Faroe Islands and western Norway in the north south to the Moroccan coast. There is a single record of this species from the Mediterranean Sea, a mature male caught in the Tyrrhenian Sea at a depth of 90m. [3]
The bacteria are fed a sugar and amino acid solution by the squid and in return hide the squid's silhouette when viewed from below by matching the amount of light hitting the top of the mantle (counter-illumination). [12] E. scolopes serves as a model organism for animal-bacterial symbiosis and its relationship with A. fischeri has been ...
Euprymna albatrossae is a species of bobtail squid native to the western Pacific Ocean off the Philippines and Japan. [3] [4] The depth range of E. albatrossae is unknown. The type specimens were collected using a nightlight. [5] E. albatrossae grows to 24 mm (0.94 in) in mantle length. [5]
Inioteuthis maculosa is a species of bobtail squid native to the Indo-Pacific. It occurs in the northern Indian Ocean, Persian Gulf, Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, Andaman Sea, and off India, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Indonesia. [3] Females grow to 14 mm in mantle length, while males are not known to exceed 13 mm ML. [3]
Heteroteuthidinae is a subfamily of bobtail squid encompassing six genera and 17 recognized species. Unlike the other two subfamilies in Sepiolidae, ...
Sepiolina nipponensis, also known as the Japanese bobtail squid, is a bobtail squid and one of two species in the genus Sepiolina.It is found in the Western Pacific in apparently widely separated populations, the most southerly of which is in the Great Australian Bight in South Australia and Western Australia, and there are populations from the Philippines northwards to Taiwan, Fujian and ...
