Gonatidae
The Gonatidae, also known as armhook squid, are a family of moderately sized squid. The family contains about 19 species in three genera, widely distributed and plentiful in cold boreal waters of the Pacific Ocean. At least one species is known from Antarctic waters, and two from the North Atlantic. The genus ''Eogonatus'' was created for the species known as ''Eogonatus tinro'' because it did not have hooks on the tentacular club and it has 5 rows of teeth on the radula. Molecular studies in allozymes and mitochondrial DNA have indicated that this species nests within the genus ''Gonatus'', although other authorities treat it as a synonym of ''Gonatopsis okutanii''. Description Morphologically, armhook squid are fairly uniform: all species are characterised by the suckers of their arms, which are arranged in four rows (series) rather than the typical count of two. In most species, the arm's two mesial rows of suckers have been modified into hooks and the tentacular clubs&mdas ...

Gonatus Onyx
The ''Gonatus Onyx'' is in the class Cephalopoda, in the phylum Mollusca. It is also known as the Clawed arm hook squid or Black-eyed squid. It got these names from the characteristic black eye and from its two arms with clawed hooks on the end that extend a bit further than the other arms. It is a squid in the family ''Gonatidae'', found most commonly in the northern Pacific Ocean from Japan to California. They are one of the most abundant cephalopods off the coast of California, mostly found at deeper depths, rising during the day most likely to feed. The mantle size of the ''Gonatus Onyx'' has been known to reach up to 18cm. ''G. Onyx'' size varies from region to region, with larger members of the species being found in warmer areas. The type specimen was collected off the coast of California and was deposited at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History is a natural history museum in Santa Barbara, California. It reconnects mo ...

Boreoatlantic Armhook Squid
''Gonatus fabricii'', the Boreo-atlantic Armhook Squid, is a squid in the family Gonatidae. It occurs in the northern Atlantic Ocean from Canada to the Barents Sea. Until 1981, the name ''G. fabricii'' was usually misapplied to the very similar relative '' G. steenstrupi''. ''G. fabricii'' grows to 30 cm in mantle length. The type specimen was collected off Greenland and is deposited at the Zoologisk Museum of Kobenhavns Universitet in Copenhagen Copenhagen ( or .; da, København ) is the capital and most populous city of Denmark, with a proper population of around 815.000 in the last quarter of 2022; and some 1.370,000 in the urban area; and the wider Copenhagen metropolitan ar ....
