Loliolus Japonica, the Japanese squid, is a species of squid from the family Loliginidae. As the name suggests, it lives around Japan , but has also been found around Vietnam and China .[2] They are pelagic, living 1–30 meters down in the ocean.[2]
The Japanese squid has light tan skin, with speckles all over its mantle and tentacles.[3] It has a particularly large mantle, and an unusually wide fin along the mantle as well. It has dark, black eyes.[3] Females are larger than males.[4] The maximum length a male can get is 12 centimeters.[5] Loliolus japonica are nonbioluminescent species which means that they do not emit light. [6]
A male will perform various rituals to get a female's attention, and after that they will mate. Embryos will hatch into a planktonic stage for a fair amount of time, but will then turn into adults. Males and females die after spawning.[5]
