Uroteuthis
''Uroteuthis'' is a genus of 14 species of common inshore squids of the Indo-West Pacific and is further subdivided into 3 subgenera. The members of the genus ''Uroteuthis'' are the only squids of the family Loliginidae that possess photophores (light-emitting organs) and all species in the genus have a pair of photophore organs on the ventral surface of their ink sac either side of their intestine. ''Uroteuthis'' species range in size between 3 cm to 100 cm (mantle length). As with all other members of the family Loliginidae, they have a cornea that covers the lens of each eye, and have a gladius that extends the full length of the mantle and a gill that has a branchial canal. The type species for the genus is '' Uroteuthis bartschi'' described by Rehder in 1945. Distribution and Range The members of the genus ''Uroteuthis'' are neritic squids (i.e., they occupy waters over the continental shelves) leading to the common name ''inshore squid'' being used for many ''Ur ...

Uroteuthis Chinensis
''Uroteuthis chinensis'', also known as the Hanchi (Korean:),Taiwanese squid (Mandarin Chinese:) or mitre squid, is a species of squid in the west Pacific Ocean, including the China Sea. Characteristics ''U. chinesis'' is a cephalopod which means that it feeds by using tentacles to pull food into its sharp beak. Cephalopods have radula's which are similar to tongues that help them grind up the food they eat so they can digest it. Reproduction occurs once in a lifetime because cephalopods die shortly after reproducing. During mating the male squid uses a specialized arm called a hectocotylus to fertilize the female with his sperm. The body is elongated, tapered, and the end of the tail is tapered. There is no longitudinal midline on the ventral surface. The average carcass length of mature specimens is 30 cm and the aspect ratio is 7:1. There are two fins on the side of the tube, the fins are diamond-shaped, and the length of the carcass is greater than 2/3, making the carcass o ...
