Some aspects of the reproductive biology of the Indian squid, Uroteuthis duvauceli, were studied from June 2006 to May 2007. A total of 1200 specimens were collected from approximately 30-80m depths by trawling in 50 stations, of which 360 samples were studied for sex determination and fecundity. The minimum and maximum total and mantle length, and body weight were recorded in December and June...

This study investigates 14 elements (Ag, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, V and Zn) in the tissues of the oceanic ommastrephid squid Todarodes filippovae from waters surrounding Île Amsterdam (southern Indian Ocean) and Tasmania (Australia). As for other cephalopod species, the digestive gland and branchial hearts showed the highest concentrations of many elements (Ag, Cd, Se, V and ...

The Northwest Indian Ocean is a key fishing ground for China’s pelagic fisheries, with the purpleback flying squid being significant target. This study uses commercial logs of between 2015 and 2021, alongside seawater temperature its vertical difference within 0–200 m depth range, to construct generalized additive models (GAMs) gradient boosting tree (GBTs). These two are evaluated using cross-...

Cephalopod fisheries in the China Seas have witnessed an increasing trend catches of coastal cephalopods since 1990s, with Loliginidae squid emerging as main commercial target species. However, climate change and overfishing led to a dramatic reduction resources, highlighting need improve monitoring, protection, management this The Loligo beka Uroteuthis duvaucelii are widely distributed along ...

Chromatographic characterization and the GC-MS evaluation of the black pigmented ink of Loligo duvauceli in the present study have yielded an array of bioactive compounds with potent antimicrobial property. Facing an alarm of antimicrobial resistance globally, a need for elucidating antimicrobial agents from natural sources will be the need for the hour. In this view, this study is aimed at cha...

Squids belong to the cephalopod family, which composes more than 5% of the total annual fishing volume of southern Iran as by- products; however, these do not have significant usage in Iran. This product was studied to extract the high-value products, i.e. marine oils rich in unsaturated multiple-band fatty acids from 50kg squid (Loligo loligo) obtained from Chabahar fishing port and transferre...
