The Japanese flying squid, Japanese common squid or Pacific flying squid, [3] scientific name Todarodes pacificus, is a squid of the family Ommastrephidae.This animal lives in the northern Pacific Ocean, in the area surrounding Japan, along the entire coast of China up to Russia, then spreading across the Bering Strait east towards the southern coast of Alaska and Canada.
This squid is caught for food off the coast of Japan. [9] It lays its eggs on the underside of submerged objects. In order to increase catches, artificial substrates have been installed along the coast of Japan to provide more egg-laying sites. [3] This species is important in biological research. Its mitochondrial genome has been sequenced. [10]
The squid's vernacular name arose due to its rich red skin pigmentation and the presence of photophores along its body, making it appear like a strawberry with seeds. [2] H. heteropsis live in the ocean's mesopelagic zone and are found in the California Current and the Humboldt Current. [4]

The firefly squid inhabits the waters off the coast of Japan. [13] [14] The depth at which these squids can be found varies (300–400 m or 1,000–1,300 ft during the day, and 20–60 m or 70–200 ft during the night) over the course of a day, [14] as they are one of the several species of squid that participates in diel vertical migration.
