Euprymna Morsei
''Euprymna morsei'', the Mimika bobtail squid, is a species of Indo-Pacific bobtail squid from the family Sepiolidae. Description ''Euprymna morsei'' has a plump, dome-shaped mantle in which the dorsal mantle is fused to head. It has wide but short semicircular fins which are shorter than the mantle length either anteriorly or posteriorly. At their posterior ends the fins are widely separated while their anterior origin is behind the margin of the mantle. The suckers on the non-hectocotylised arms are arranged similarly in both sexes in four series. In the males there are around 10 enlarged suckers in the ventral rows of arms II to IV which run towards the tip from the third or fourth suckers counting from the head. The males have a hectocotylus in which the upper half of left dorsal arm is modified with enlarged pedicels to the suckers which are densely packed to form 2 double rows of columnar structures and the suckers are reduced, having very small, fleshy, narrow openings. Th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Euprymna Tasmanica
''Euprymna tasmanica'', also known as the southern dumpling squid or southern bobtail squid, is a bobtail squid that lives in the shallow (0.5 m to at least 80 m) temperate coastal waters of southern Australia's continental shelf. It lives for between 5 and 8 months and the adults can grow up to 6 or 7 cm long with a mantle length of 3 to 4 cm. They are found in seagrass beds or areas with soft silty or muddy bottoms from Brisbane on the east coast to Shark Bay on the west, as well as around Tasmania. Southern dumpling squid are nocturnal and during the day hide in sand or mud covered in a mucus-lined coat of sediment. If disturbed acid glans can quickly remove this coat as an additional decoy to ink squirting. Physical appearance Like other bobtail squid, southern dumpling squid have a light organ fuelled by symbiotic bioluminescent bacteria. The light organ, which is butterfly-shaped, is situated in the mantle cavity and is used to cancel out the bobtail squid's si ...

Euprymna Berryi
''Euprymna berryi'', commonly called hummingbird bobtail squid or Berry's bobtail squid among various other vernacular names, is a species of mollusc cephalopod in the family Sepiolidae. Description The hummingbird bobtail squid is a small sized sepia. Its size varies according to the sex; males are no bigger than while the female reaches length. The global body aspect is compact and rounded. It possesses eight arms and two tentacles, a pair of small lateral fins on the posterior part of the mantle. The background color of the body is translucent with a large number of tiny dark chromatophores. The chromatophores are widely distributed over all of the body including the arms, head, ventral and dorsal areas of the mantle, except the tentacles and the pair of lateral fins of which only the border with the mantle has chromatophores. The external color of the sepia, as we see it, is like a blend of small dark, electric blue and green dots. Distribution & habitat The hummingbird bob ...

Bobtail Squid
Bobtail squid (order Sepiolida) are a group of cephalopods closely related to cuttlefish. Bobtail squid tend to have a rounder mantle than cuttlefish and have no cuttlebone. They have eight suckered arms and two tentacles and are generally quite small (typical male mantle length being between ). Sepiolids live in shallow coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean and some parts of the Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean as well as in shallow waters on the west coast of the Cape Peninsula off South Africa. Like cuttlefish, they can swim by either using the fins on their mantle or by jet propulsion. They are also known as "dumpling squid" (owing to their rounded mantle) or "stubby squid". Light organ Bobtail squid have a symbiotic relationship with bioluminescent bacteria (''Aliivibrio fischeri''), which inhabit a special light organ in the squid's mantle. The luminescent properties of the bacteria regulate gene expression in the light organ. The bacteria are fed a sugar and amino ac ...
