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. -

Oliphant, and Ingrid L. K. Iverson 1971 1 2 ABSTRACT The authors investigated food habits of albacore, Thunnus alalunga, bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus, and bonito, Sarda chiliensis, in the eastern North Pacific Ocean during 1968 and 1969. While most stomach samples came from fish caught commercially off southern California and Baja California, some came from fish taken in central Califor- nia, Oregon, and Washington waters. Standard procedures included enumeration of food items, volumetric analysis, and measure of frequency of occur- rence. The authors identified the majority of forage organisms to the specific level through usual taxonomic methods for whole animals. Identification of partially digested animals was accomplished through the use of otoliths for fish, beaks for cephalopods, and the exoskeleton for invertebrates. A pictorial guide to beaks of certain eastern Pacific cephalopods was prepared and proved helpful in identifying stomach contents. This guide is presented in this publication. The study indicates the prominent forage for bluefin tuna, bonito, and albacore in California waters is the northern anchovy, Engraulis mordax. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Food Habits Study of Organisms of the California Current System, (Project 6–7-R), was an investigation estab- lished under contract between the U.S. -

<I>Onychoteuthis</I> Lichtenstein, 1818
BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 83(3): 481–529, 2008 NEW TAXA PAPER TWO NEW SPECIES AND A REVIEW OF THE SQUID GENUS ONYCHOTEUTHIS LICHTENSTEIN, 1818 (OEGOPSIDA: ONYCHOTEUTHIDAE) FROM THE PACIFIC OCEAN K. S. Bolstad ABSTRACT The onychoteuthid genusOnychoteuthis Lichtenstein, 1818 is in systematic disarray. The oldest species, Onychoteuthis banksii (Leach, 1817), is widely recognized as a species complex, with which two of the other commonly recognized three species—Onychoteuthis compacta (Berry, 1913) and Onychoteuthis borealijaponica Okada, 1927—and some 20 additional names have been all synonymized at one time. This study, a partial revision of the genus, redescribes O. banksii from the Atlantic Ocean; from the Pacific, O. compacta, O. borealijaponica, and Onychoteuthis meridiopacificaRancurel and Okutani, 1990, are redescribed, the name Onychoteuthis aequimanus Gabb, 1868, is resurrected, and two additional species are described: Onychoteuthis lacrima sp. nov., and Onychoteuthis prolata sp. nov. Several new species-level characters are examined in detail, compared, and reported for each species, including buccal morphology, tentacular club and hook morphology, chromatophore patterns on the mantle and tentacles, and photophore shape and size. The cosmopolitan tropical/temperate genus Onychoteuthis has long been recog- nized for its systematic instability (Kubodera et al., 1998; Vecchione et al., 2003). Onychoteuthis banksii (Leach, 1817) has been a catch-all name for many morpho- logically similar taxa since its description nearly 200 yrs ago (Vecchione et al., 2003), including: two of the additional three species generally recognized by recent authors—Onychoteuthis compacta (Berry, 1913) and Onychoteuthis borealijaponica Okada, 1927, at various times—and about 20 additional nominal species (see e.g., Pfeffer, 1912; Adam, 1952). -

We investigated foraging behavior during daylight hours of 20 Laysan 21 albatrosses Phoebastria immutabilis breeding in Hawaii using GPS and camera-loggers. 22 The birds traveled to the North Pacific Transition Zone up to 600 km north of their 23 breeding site. The camera images showed that Laysan albatrosses fed on large (~1 m 24 body length), intact floating dead squids (6 events) and floating fragmented squids (10 1 25 events) over deep oceanic water (> 2000 m) while they flew in a straight path without 26 sinuous searching. -

Yamashiro South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation 28 Aug 15 3rd Meeting of the Scientific Committee SC-03-17 Port Vila, Vanuatu, 28 September - 3 October 2015 Main biological and fishery aspects of the jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) in the Peruvian Humboldt Current System by Jorge Csirke, Ana Alegre, Juan Argüelles, Renato Guevara-Carrasco, Luís Mariátegui, Marceliano Segura, Ricardo Tafúr and Cármen Yamashiro Instituto del Mar del Perú (IMARPE), Chucuito, Callao, Perú Summary Jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) is found in high abundance along the whole Peruvian coast from 10 to more than 500 nm from the coast. Performs diel vertical migrations from 0 to more than 650 m depth, and regular inshore-offshore ontogenetic migrations and less regular latitudinal migrations of several hundred miles. Younger and/or smaller jumbo squids predominate in oceanic waters, while larger jumbo squids are more neritic. Maintains some reproductive activity all year round, with increased reproductive activity from July to February and peaks between October and January. Life span is usually one year, although some specimens can live up to two years. Slight differences in the age or size of sexual maturity and main distribution areas suggests that there are least three strains, groups or population subunits of jumbo squid inhabiting the Peruvian Humboldt Current System. Is a very aggressive predator and prey availability seems to be more important than temperature or other environmental parameters in shaping its geographic distribution. -

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. -

Caldwell, Chair Professor David R. Lindberg Professor George K. Roderick Dr. Bruce H. Robison Fall, 2009 Defensive Behaviors of Deep-sea Squids: Ink Release, Body Patterning, and Arm Autotomy © 2009 by Stephanie Lynn Bush ABSTRACT Defensive Behaviors of Deep-sea Squids: Ink Release, Body Patterning, and Arm Autotomy by Stephanie Lynn Bush Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology University of California, Berkeley Professor Roy L. Caldwell, Chair The deep sea is the largest habitat on Earth and holds the majority of its’ animal biomass. Due to the limitations of observing, capturing and studying these diverse and numerous organisms, little is known about them. The majority of deep-sea species are known only from net-caught specimens, therefore behavioral ecology and functional morphology were assumed. The advent of human operated vehicles (HOVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) have allowed scientists to make one-of-a-kind observations and test hypotheses about deep-sea organismal biology. Cephalopods are large, soft-bodied molluscs whose defenses center on crypsis. Individuals can rapidly change coloration (for background matching, mimicry, and disruptive coloration), skin texture, body postures, locomotion, and release ink to avoid recognition as prey or escape when camouflage fails. Squids, octopuses, and cuttlefishes rely on these visual defenses in shallow-water environments, but deep-sea cephalopods were thought to perform only a limited number of these behaviors because of their extremely low light surroundings. -
Giant Protistan Parasites on the Gills of Cephalopods (Mollusca)

USA Division of Science, Northeast Missouri State University, Kirksville. Missouri 63501, USA ABSTRACT: Large Protista of unknown taxonomic affinities are described from 3 species of coleoid squids, and are reported from many other species of cephalopods. The white to yellow-orange, ovoid cyst-like parasites are partially embedded within small pockets on the surface of the gills, often in large numbers. Except for a holdfast region on one side of the large end, the surface of the parasite is elaborated into low triangular plates separated by grooves. The parasites are uninucleate; their cytoplasm bears lipid droplets and presumed paraglycogen granules. Trichocysts, present in a layer beneath the cytoplasmic surface, were found by transmission electron microscopy to be of the dino- flagellate type. Further studies are needed to clarify the taxonomic position of these protists. INTRODUCTION epoxy resin (see below).
