Luminous Bay Squid

Uroteuthis noctiluca

• Group: Squid
• IUCN status: DD

A coastal squid able to push far into estuaries and brackish water that most squid avoid, thanks to a high tolerance for low salinity. It forages in these murky inshore shallows, and so little has been confirmed about it that its status stays data deficient.

Taxonomy: Animalia › Mollusca › Cephalopoda › Myopsida › Loliginidae › Uroteuthis
