Panama Brief Squid

Lolliguncula panamensis

Group: Squid
Typical depth: 1–75 m
Max size: 8 cm
IUCN status: DD

A small neritic squid reaching about eight centimetres, it hunts fish and crustaceans over soft bottoms and through the water column down past 75 metres. It tolerates surprisingly low salinity, letting it push into brackish coastal waters that few squid handle. Too little is known to judge its conservation status.
