Uroteuthis Arabica
''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 (mollusc), 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 (cephalopod), 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 zone, neritic squids (i.e., they occupy waters over the continental shelves) leading to the c ...

Uroteuthis Noctiluca
''Uroteuthis noctiluca'', commonly known as the luminous bay squid, is a species of squid native to shallow water on the eastern coast of Australia. It uses a pair of luminous organs to camouflage itself from predators at night. Description In this species, females grow larger than males. The maximum mantle length is about , the width of the mantle being about 30% of the length. The fins are rounded and the posterior of the mantle is heart-shaped. The eight arms are short and there are rings of suckers on each arm, each sucker having four to seven teeth. The male has the fourth left arm hectocotylised over its entire length. The two tentacles are short and robust, with broad paddle-shaped clubs. There are two photophores on the underside of the ink sac. Populations in the north of the range differ from those in the south in the arrangement of the suckers on the male's right ventral arms. This squid has a colourless cuticle with a pattern of orange, black and brown dots. Distri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Uroteuthis Duvauceli
''Uroteuthis duvaucelii'', also known as the Indian Ocean Squid or Indian Squid, is an Indo-West Pacific species of squid with a wide range throughout the Indian Ocean to Malaysia and the South China Sea, and is also present in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea. ''U. duvaucelii'' is found at depths between 3 m and 170 m and feeds on fishes, crustaceans and other squids. Individuals have mantles moderately long (commonly up to 150 mm) and slender with broad fins approximately 50% of the mantle length. ''U. duvaucelii'' represents a significant species in commercial fisheries throughout its range: e.g. catches of squid in the Philippines commercial fishery are 90% ''U. duvaucelii''. Life cycle During brooding fertilized embryos hatch into a planktonic stage migrating into the upper layers of the water column. As they grow larger they take up a benthic existence as adults, with males being slightly larger than females. Spawning occurs throughout the year but princ ...

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 ...
