Teuthowenia Megalops
''Teuthowenia megalops'', sometimes known as the Atlantic cranch squid, is a species of glass squid from the subarctic and temperate waters of the northern Atlantic Ocean. They are moderately sized squid with a maximum mantle length of . Their very large cephalopod eye, eyes are the source for the Specific name (zoology), specific name ''megalops'' (Greek for "large eyes"). Like other members of the genus ''Teuthowenia'', they are easily recognizable by the presence of three bioluminescent organs (photophores) on their eyeballs. Description ''Teuthowenia megalops'' are moderately sized glass squid. They are sexually dimorphic, reaching mantle lengths between for females, and for males. They have very large forward-facing cephalopod eye, eyes, each possessing three bioluminescent organs (photophores), a defining characteristic of the genus ''Teuthowenia''. One of the photophores is oval-shaped and small, located at the upper part near the lens of each eye. The other two are conc ...

Teuthowenia Megalops Anatomy 2
''Teuthowenia'' is a genus of glass squid in the subfamily Taoniinae. Members of this genus are characterized by their deep-sea habitat, clear bodies, and ability to engorge themselves with water to become larger when threatened. Each known species has a visible digestive gland, which serves a similar purpose as a stomach and liver. The genus contains bioluminescent species. It includes three species: *''Teuthowenia maculata'' (Leach, 1817) - found in the tropical waters of the eastern Atlantic Ocean. *''Teuthowenia megalops'' (Prosch, 1849) - found in the subarctic, temperate, and (rarely) subtropical waters of the northern Atlantic Ocean. *''Teuthowenia pellucida ''Teuthowenia pellucida'', the googly-eyed glass squid, is a rare deep-sea glass squid whose habitat ranges throughout the oceans of the southern hemisphere. Characteristics The googly-eyed glass squid is a blue, transparent organism with a ...'' (Chun, 1910) - found throughout the oceans of the south ...
