A Review of Southern Ocean Squids Using Nets and Beaks
Marine Biodiversity (2020) 50:98 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12526-020-01113-4 REVIEW A review of Southern Ocean squids using nets and beaks Yves Cherel1 Received: 31 May 2020 /Revised: 31 August 2020 /Accepted: 3 September 2020 # Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung 2020 Abstract This review presents an innovative approach to investigate the teuthofauna from the Southern Ocean by combining two com- plementary data sets, the literature on cephalopod taxonomy and biogeography, together with predator dietary investigations. Sixty squids were recorded south of the Subtropical Front, including one circumpolar Antarctic (Psychroteuthis glacialis Thiele, 1920), 13 circumpolar Southern Ocean, 20 circumpolar subantarctic, eight regional subantarctic, and 12 occasional subantarctic species. A critical evaluation removed five species from the list, and one species has an unknown taxonomic status. The 42 Southern Ocean squids belong to three large taxonomic units, bathyteuthoids (n = 1 species), myopsids (n =1),andoegopsids (n = 40). A high level of endemism (21 species, 50%, all oegopsids) characterizes the Southern Ocean teuthofauna. Seventeen families of oegopsids are represented, with three dominating families, onychoteuthids (seven species, five endemics), ommastrephids (six species, three endemics), and cranchiids (five species, three endemics). Recent improvements in beak identification and taxonomy allowed making new correspondence between beak and species names, such as Galiteuthis suhmi (Hoyle 1886), Liguriella podophtalma Issel, 1908, and the recently described Taonius notalia Evans, in prep. Gonatus phoebetriae beaks were synonymized with those of Gonatopsis octopedatus Sasaki, 1920, thus increasing significantly the number of records and detailing the circumpolar distribution of this rarely caught Southern Ocean squid. The review extends considerably the number of species, including endemics, recorded from the Southern Ocean, but it also highlights that the corresponding species to two well-described beaks (Moroteuthopsis sp. -
CEPHALOPODS 688 Cephalopods
click for previous page CEPHALOPODS 688 Cephalopods Introduction and GeneralINTRODUCTION Remarks AND GENERAL REMARKS by M.C. Dunning, M.D. Norman, and A.L. Reid iving cephalopods include nautiluses, bobtail and bottle squids, pygmy cuttlefishes, cuttlefishes, Lsquids, and octopuses. While they may not be as diverse a group as other molluscs or as the bony fishes in terms of number of species (about 600 cephalopod species described worldwide), they are very abundant and some reach large sizes. Hence they are of considerable ecological and commercial fisheries importance globally and in the Western Central Pacific. Remarks on MajorREMARKS Groups of CommercialON MAJOR Importance GROUPS OF COMMERCIAL IMPORTANCE Nautiluses (Family Nautilidae) Nautiluses are the only living cephalopods with an external shell throughout their life cycle. This shell is divided into chambers by a large number of septae and provides buoyancy to the animal. The animal is housed in the newest chamber. A muscular hood on the dorsal side helps close the aperture when the animal is withdrawn into the shell. Nautiluses have primitive eyes filled with seawater and without lenses. They have arms that are whip-like tentacles arranged in a double crown surrounding the mouth. Although they have no suckers on these arms, mucus associated with them is adherent. Nautiluses are restricted to deeper continental shelf and slope waters of the Indo-West Pacific and are caught by artisanal fishers using baited traps set on the bottom. The flesh is used for food and the shell for the souvenir trade. Specimens are also caught for live export for use in home aquaria and for research purposes. -

Helminth Infection in the Short-Finned Squid Illex Coindetii (Cephalopoda, Ommastrephidae) Off NW Spain
DISEASES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS Published September 14 Dis aquat Org Helminth infection in the short-finned squid Illex coindetii (Cephalopoda, Ommastrephidae) off NW Spain 'Laboratorio de Parasitologia, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de Vigo, Ap. 874 E-36200 Vigo, Spain 'Institute de Investigacions Marinas (CSIC),Eduardo Cabello 6, E-36208 Vigo, Spain ABSTRACT: A survey of parasites in 600 short-finned squid fllex coindetii (Verany. 1839) taken from 2 locations (north and south Galicia) off the northwestern Ibenan Peninsula revealed the presence of numerous somatoxenous helrninths. Three genera of Tetraphyllidean plerocercoids were represented (prevalences: Ph}~llobothriurn sp., 45.7%; Dinobothriunl sp., 0.8%; and Pelichnibothrium speciosum, 0.001 %); 1 Trypanorhynchidean metacestode was also present (Nybelinia vamagutll. 0.4 %). In addi- tion, larval nematodes of Anisakis simplex (L3) were recorded (10.6%). Abundance of infection was examined in relation to squid sex, standard length, maturity and locality. This analysis indicated that parasite infection was lower in the southern squids than in the northern squid group. Over the entire survey area, parasite infection showed a close positive correlation with host life-cycle, often with the greatest number of parasites among the largest and highest maturity individuals (>l8to 20 cm; matu- rlty stage V).

AnCÎslrolelilhis lichtensteinii, Histiotellthis bonne/Iii, H. rCl'ersa and the first record of Chirotellthis Feranyi in the Ionian Sea are reported here. Data were collected during a trawl survey carried out on red shrimp grounds during August 1993. Résumé : Dans ce travail, les auteurs analysent des espèces de Céphalopodes peu communes ou rares en Méditerranée, Ancislrotellthis Iichlensteinii, Histiotellthis bonnellii, H. reversa et ils signalent pour la première t"ois la présence de Chirotellthis l'eranyi en mer Ionienne. Les exemplaires ont été capturés au cours d'une campagne de chalutage expérimentale, sur des fonds ù crevettes rouges, au mois d'Août 1993. INTRODUCTION The SCal"CÎty of ecological knowledge on many species of cephalopods is certainly due to the technical problems of field observation and sampling. Information on distribution and abundance come mainly from CUITent research of biologi cal oceanography, fishing activities, analysis on stomach contents of mmine mammals and pelagic fishes. Recently, observations from submersibles have provided very interesting data about several aspects of the biology and ecology of cephalopods (Vecchione & Roper, 1991). Cephalopods are captured commercialy and for research purposes using a valiety of gears, primarily jigging machines, trawls and drift nets (Roper, 1991). While jigging, pela gic seining and potting are less destructive techniques that target specific sizes and species, trawling and drift netting are non-selective methods as far as size and specieS' are concer ned. -
Octopus Consciousness: the Role of Perceptual Richness
Review Octopus Consciousness: The Role of Perceptual Richness Jennifer Mather Department of Psychology, University of Lethbridge, Lethbridge, AB T1K 3M4, Canada; [email protected] Abstract: It is always difficult to even advance possible dimensions of consciousness, but Birch et al., 2020 have suggested four possible dimensions and this review discusses the first, perceptual richness, with relation to octopuses. They advance acuity, bandwidth, and categorization power as possible components. It is first necessary to realize that sensory richness does not automatically lead to perceptual richness and this capacity may not be accessed by consciousness. Octopuses do not discriminate light wavelength frequency (color) but rather its plane of polarization, a dimension that we do not understand. Their eyes are laterally placed on the head, leading to monocular vision and head movements that give a sequential rather than simultaneous view of items, possibly consciously planned. Details of control of the rich sensorimotor system of the arms, with 3/5 of the neurons of the nervous system, may normally not be accessed to the brain and thus to consciousness. The chromatophore-based skin appearance system is likely open loop, and not available to the octopus’ vision. Conversely, in a laboratory situation that is not ecologically valid for the octopus, learning about shapes and extents of visual figures was extensive and flexible, likely consciously planned. Similarly, octopuses’ local place in and navigation around space can be guided by light polarization plane and visual landmark location and is learned and monitored. The complex array of chemical cues delivered by water and on surfaces does not fit neatly into the components above and has barely been tested but might easily be described as perceptually rich. -

In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge not strictly professional." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. -

Insgesamt können 24 Arten nachgewiesen werden. Tonnoidea weisen generell eine ungewöhnliche weite geographische und stratigraphische Verbreitung auf, wie sie bei anderen Gastropoden unbekannt ist. Dementsprechend sind die paratethyalen Arten meist auch in der mediterranen und der atlantischen Bioprovinz vertreten. Einige Arten treten zuerst im mittleren Miozän der Paratethys auf. Insgesamt dokumentiert die Verteilung der tonnoiden Gastropoden in der Parate- thys einen starken klimatischen Einfluss.
