Abralia astrosticta

Group: Squid
Typical depth: 7–650 m

IUCN status: LC

A small deep water squid no longer than a finger, this enopsid carries rows of light producing organs along its body and eyes that let it blend into the faint glow from above. It lives in the open ocean down to around 650 metres, while its tiny paralarvae drift in the upper few hundred metres before sinking deeper as they grow.
