Paralarvae with fused tentacles. Arms with biserial suckers. Four rows of suckers on tentacular clubs (club dactylus with 8 sucker series in Illex). Hooks never present hooks never on arms or clubs. One of the ventral pair of arms present usually hectocotylized in males. Buccal connec- tives attach to dorsal borders of ventral arms. Gladius distinctive, slender. funnel locking apparatus with Habitat, biology, and fisheries: Oceanic and T-shaped groove neritic. This is one of the most widely distributed and conspicuous families of squids in the world. Most species are exploited commercially. Todarodes pacificus makes up the bulk of the squid landings in Japan (up to 600 000 t annually) and may comprise at least 1/2 the annual world catch of cephalopods.In various parts of the West- ern Central Atlantic, 6 species of ommastrephids currently are fished commercially or for bait, or have a potential for exploitation. Ommastrephids are powerful swimmers and some species form large schools. Some neritic species exhibit strong seasonal migrations, wherein they occur in huge numbers in inshore waters where they are accessable to fisheries activities. The large size of most species (commonly 30 to 50 cm total length and up to 120 cm total length) and the heavily mus- cled structure, make them ideal for human con- ventral view sumption. Similar families occurring in the area Onychoteuthidae: tentacular clubs with claw-like hooks; funnel locking apparatus a simple, straight groove.

The manuals are published at irregular intervals on as many taxa of the region as there are specialists available to collaborate in their preparation. These manuals are intended for use by students, biologists, biological oceanographers, informed laymen, and others wishing to identify coastal organisms for this region. They can often serve as guides to additional information about species or groups. The manuals are an outgrowth ofthe widely used "Keys to Marine Invertebrates of the Woods Hole Region," edited by R.I. Smith, and produced in 1964 under the auspices of the Systematics Ecology Program, Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts.

A total of 278 tows, lasting thirty to sixty minutes, were carried out between the latitudes of 30°40’S and 34°S, at depths up to 100 m. Nine species were recognized. The squid Loligo sanpaulensis Brakoniecki, 1984 (syn. L. brasiliensis, Blainville, 1823) was the most abundant species and a potencial fishing resource, occurring in all seasons all over the sampling area. Doryteuthis plei (Blainville, 1823) appeared in small numbers at depths between 47 and 92 m. Young Illex argentinus (Castellanos, 1960), were rather abundant in autumn and spring in waters deeper than 80 m near Chuí. Adults were found occasionally. Benthic octopoda were represented by Eledone massyae Voss, 1964, Eledone gaucha Haimovici, 1986, both common all over the year at depths deeper than 50 m, and small numbers of Octopus vulgaris Cuvier, 1797, and O.

    NOAA Technical Report NMFS 73 February 1989 Marine Flora and Fauna of the Eastern United States Mollusca: Cephalopoda Michael Vecchione, Clyde F.E. Roper, and Michael J. Sweeney U.S. Department of Commerce NOAA TECHNICAL REPORT NMFS The major responsibilities of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are to monitor and assess the abundance and geographic distribution of fishery resources, to understand and predict fluctuations in the quantity and distribution of these resources, and to establish levels for their optimum use. NMFS is also charged with the development and implementation of policies for managing national fishing grounds, development and enforcement of domestic fisheries regulations, surveillance of foreign fishing off United States coastal waters, and the development and enforcement of international fishery agreements and policies. NMFS also assists the fishing industry through marketing service and economic analysis programs, and mortgage insurance and vessel construction subsidies. It collects, analyzes, and publishes statistics on various phases of the industry. The NOAA Technical Report NMFS series was established in 1983 to replace two subcategories of the Technical Reports series: "Special Scientific Report-Fisheries" and "Circular." The series contains the following types of reports: Scientific investigations that document long-term continuing programs of NMFS; intensive scientific reports on studies of restricted scope; papers on applied fishery problems; technical reports of general interest intended to aid conservation and management; reports that review in con­ siderable detail and at a high technical level certain broad areas of research; and technical papers originating in economics studies and from management investigations. Since this is a formal series, all submitted papers receive peer review and those accepted receive professional editing before publication.

Metazoans contain two Sepiolidae and combined molecular phylogenetic data using types of luminescence production, bacteriogenic (symbiotic four loci (nuclear ribosomal 28S rRNA and the mitochondrial with bacteria) or autogenic, via the production of a luminous cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and 12S and 16S rRNA) to secretion or the intrinsic properties of luminous cells. Several determine whether this character was an ancestral trait species in two families of squids, the Loliginidae and the repeatedly lost among both families or whether it evolved Sepiolidae (Mollusca: Cephalopoda) harbor bacteriogenic independently as an adaptation to the pelagic and benthic light organs that are found central in the mantle cavity. lifestyles. By comparing other closely related extant taxa that These light organs are exceptional in function, that is, the do not contain symbiotic light organs, we hypothesized that morphology and the complexity suggests that the organ has the ancestral state of sepiolid light organs most likely evolved evolved to enhance and direct light emission from bacteria that from part of a separate accessory gland open to the are harbored inside.
