	Squid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Like all cephalopods, squids are distinguished by having a distinct head, bilateral symmetry, a mantle, and tentacles with suckers; squid, like cuttlefish, have eight arms and two tentacles arranged in pairs.
		Squid are exclusively carnivorous, feeding on fish and other invertebrates.
		The majority of squid are no more than 60 cm in length, but the giant squid is reportedly up to 20 m in length, which made it the largest invertebrate in the world, and it has the largest eyes of all.

	Bigfin squid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bigfin and long-arm squids are a group of rarely seen cephalopods with a very distinctive morphology.
		The first visual record of the long-arm squid dates back to 1988 off the coast of Brazil.
		The squids received a flurry of attention after a video from the ROV Tiburon was released, although the previous movies were seldom mentioned.

	Squid
		The squid is a marine mollusc of the class Cephalopoda, subclass Coleoidea, order Teuthida, of which there are two major suborders, Myopsina and Oegopsina (including the giant squids like Architeuthis dux).
		Two other orders of decapodiform cephaopods are also called squid, although they are taxonomically disctinct from Teuthida and differ recognizably in their gross anatomical features.
		There is also one squid species grouped within the octopodiform ("eight legged") superclass: the Vampire Squid.

	Pharyngula::Squid nuptial dances
		Yesterday's post about squid had a most unsatisfying conclusion, so I feel compelled to mention two things: squidblog has a brief explanation of squid jet propulsion, and I've dug up another older paper on squid movement.
		The investigators fitted a sample of squid with acoustic transmitters that pinged buoys, which triangulated the signals, calculated their positions, and transmitted the information to computers that recorded the minute-by-minute positions of the tagged squid.
		More interesting to me than the mating squid is that the link to squidblog led to a link to 'Cephalopods in Action' where there were bewitching videos of bigfin squid swimming (http://www.mnh.si.edu/cephs/vetal01/vetal01.html).

		Reproductive behaviour of the bigfin squid, Sepioteuthis lessoniana, was observed in aquarium cultured, from hatchling to adult, animals to determine whether differences existed between this taxon and other species in the genus.
		Sex of mature squid were recognised by colour pattern, fin shape and size differentiation between males and females.
		Egg capsules contained an average of 2-11 eggs with an incubation period of approximately 20.2 days at 28?C. This study suggests that differences exist in major reproductive behaviour between the Japanese types and the Thai type of bigfin squid.
