Neon flying squid
Neon Flying Squid
The Neon Flying Squid (Ommastrephes bartramii), also known as the Red Flying Squid, Akika-Ika or Neon Squid, is a species of large squid that belongs to the family Ommastrephidae. They are found in subtropical and temperate oceanic waters globally.
Description[edit]
Neon Flying Squid are known for their distinctive bright neon coloration and their ability to propel themselves out of the water. They can reach a mantle length of up to 50 cm and a weight of up to 1.5 kg. The squid's body is elongated and the fins form an arrow shape. The skin contains photophores that produce light, giving the squid its neon appearance.
Behavior[edit]
Neon Flying Squid are known for their unique ability to 'fly'. By ejecting water from their mantles at high speed, they can launch themselves into the air, where they then spread their fins and tentacles to glide. This behavior is thought to be a means of escaping predators.
Diet[edit]
The diet of the Neon Flying Squid primarily consists of fish, crustaceans, and other squid. They are active predators and have been known to exhibit cannibalistic behavior.
Reproduction[edit]
Neon Flying Squid have a short lifespan of about one year. They reproduce once in their lifetime, laying thousands of eggs in the open ocean. The eggs then float freely until they hatch.
Commercial Importance[edit]
Neon Flying Squid are of significant commercial importance. They are heavily fished, particularly in Japan, where they are a popular ingredient in various dishes.
Conservation Status[edit]
The conservation status of the Neon Flying Squid is currently unknown due to insufficient data. However, concerns have been raised about the impact of overfishing on their populations.
