Slosarczykovia Circumantarctica
''Slosarczykovia'' is a monotypy, monotypic genus of squid, its sole representative being ''Slosarczykovia circumantarctica''. ''Slosarczykovia'' is placed in the Family (Biology), family Brachioteuthidae. ''Slosarczykovia circumantarctica'' is a relatively large species of squid attaining a Mantle (mollusc), mantle length of 170 mm, the mantle having a long and slender form with rhomboid shaped fins placed posteriorly. accessed Feb 25 2018. The suckers on the arms are very variable some completely lacking in teeth, others with few teeth and yet others with many teeth. The tentacles have the largest suckers running from the proximal manus and these are about three quarters in diameter of largest sucker from proximal dactylus. The suckers on the tentacular club are weakly differentiated. There is no carpal locking mechanism and there are 13 small carpal suckers which form a row along the dorsal margin of the manus. In squid with a mantle length of greater than 60mm the mantle, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Brachioteuthis Riisei
''Brachioteuthis riisei'', also known as the common arm squid, is a species of squid in the family Brachioteuthidae. Description This is a small species. It is almost colourless except for small chromatophores scarcely distributed. It has a long, thin, cylindrical mantle which grows to from 10 to 17 cm in length. The fin is approximately 35-50% of the length of the mantle. It has weak muscles, yet is nektonic. Larval stage The neck of the larvae is long. Their arms have two rows of suckers, with the having multiple rows of smaller suckers in the tentacular club at the proximal hub. Distribution This species is widely distributed and is native to many parts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Except within the boreal Pacific Ocean, this is likely a cosmopolitan species. Habitat and biology Young animals live in the epi- mesopelagic zone, with adults occurring in the bathypelagic zone.

Squid
True squid are molluscs with an elongated soft body, large eyes, eight arms, and two tentacles in the superorder Decapodiformes, though many other molluscs within the broader Neocoleoidea are also called squid despite not strictly fitting these criteria. Like all other cephalopods, squid have a distinct head, bilateral symmetry, and a mantle. They are mainly soft-bodied, like octopuses, but have a small internal skeleton in the form of a rod-like gladius (cephalopod), gladius or pen, made of chitin. Squid diverged from other cephalopods during the Jurassic and occupy a similar role to teleost fish as open water predators of similar size and behaviour. They play an important role in the open water food web. The two long tentacles are used to grab prey and the eight arms to hold and control it. The beak then cuts the food into suitable size chunks for swallowing. Squid are rapid swimmers, moving by Aquatic locomotion#Jet propulsion, jet propulsion, and largely locate their ...

Brachioteuthis Beanii
''Brachioteuthis beanii'' is a species of squid in the family Brachioteuthidae, that lives in pelagic environments. Its young are 1.2 mm in length. Distribution and habitat Its range is in the Western Atlantic, near Canada and the United States. It lives at depths of 0 to 860 meters, with young hanging out by the surface from 0 to 200 meters deep, and individuals having a mating behavior 5 to 60 meters above the ocean floor. Conservation ''Brachioteuthis beanii'' has no specific threats, and inhabits a wide range in areas where human impact does not have much effect. It is considered as "Least Concern" by the IUCN Red List The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data Book, founded in 1964, is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of biol ....

Georg Johann Pfeffer
Georg Johann Pfeffer (1854–1931) was a German zoologist, primarily a malacologist, a scientist who studies mollusks. Pfeffer was born in Berlin. In 1887 he became curator of the , which was established in 1843 and destroyed during World War II. Pfeffer's published writings were mainly about cephalopods. The World Register of Marine Species database lists 133 marine taxa named by Pfeffer When Pfeffer's name is listed as an authority for a taxon such as the land snail genus '' Lamellaxis'' Strebel & Pfeffer, 1882, his name is ''not'' simply an orthographic error for the more commonly encountered molluscan authority Pfeiffer, i.e. Ludwig Karl Georg Pfeiffer Ludwig Karl Georg Pfeiffer, also known as Louis Pfeiffer (4 July 1805 – 2 October 1877), was a German physician, botanist and conchologist.

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...
