Based on length frequency data of miter squid ( Uroteuthis chinensis ) collected in the northeastern South China Sea 1975–1977, 1997–1999, and 2018–2019, asymptotic length, optimal at first capture, relative mortality, biomass stock were estimated using length-based Bayesian estimation (LBB). The LBB-estimated for 2018–2019 was smaller. Optimal lengths capture later far exceeded average catches...

Translocation, introduction, reintroduction, and assisted migrations are species conservation strategies that are attracting increasing attention, especially in the face of climate change. However, preventing the extinction of the suite of dependent species whose host species are threatened is seldom considered, and the effects on dependent species of moving threatened hosts are unclear. There ...

The most consumed squid species worldwide were characterized regarding their concentrations of minerals, fatty acids, cholesterol and vitamin E. Interspecific comparisons were assessed among species and geographical origin. The health benefits derived from squid consumption were assessed based on daily minerals intake and on nutritional lipid quality indexes. Squids contribute significantly to ...

We report the synthesis, characterization, and biological properties of chitosan nanoaggregates from gladius of squid, Uroteuthis duvauceli. β-Chitin extracted from gladius was deacetylated to chitosan and further reduced to nanosize using ionic gelation process. The morphology and occurrence of chitosan nanoaggregates (CSNA) were observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The degre...

Objectives: To study the various linear and non-linear relationships among variables of siboga squid Uroteuthis (photololigo) sibogae (Adam, 1954) from South East Coast India August to November 2021. Methods: Samples were measured nearest value 1.0mm weight was 1gm. Findings: Females had a mean DML 120 mm, whereas males 129 mm. The total pooled sexes 38.9 gm with female being 35.9 male 41.8 gm....

Luminescent bacteria in the family Vibrionaceae (Bacteria: γ-Proteobacteria) are commonly found in complex, bilobed light organs of sepiolid and loliginid squids. Although morphology of these organs in both families of squid is similar, the species of bacteria that inhabit each host has yet to be verified. We utilized sequences of 16S ribosomal RNA, luciferase α-subunit (luxA) and the glycerald...
