Each tentacle has an organ called a photophore , which produces light. When flashed, these lights attract small fish, on which the squid can then feed. This squid is the only species of cephalopod in which evidence of color vision has been found. While most cephalopods have only one visual pigment, firefly squid have three, along with a double layered retina. These adaptations for color vision may have evolved to enable the firefly squid to distinguish between ambient light and bioluminescence. The sparkling enope squid measures about 3 inches long at maturity and dies after one year of life.

It is commercially exploited, especially in the range from the Southern Georges Bank to Cape Hatteras . File Loligo pealeii gladius.jpg thumb left Gladius cephalopod Gladius The Longfin Inshore Squid spawns year round and lives for less than one year. Individuals hatched in summer generally grow more rapidly than those hatched in winter due to the warmer temperature of the water. The species presents sexual dimorphism , with most males growing faster and reaching larger sizes than females. The dorsal mantle length of some males can reach 50 cm, although most squids commercially harvested are smaller than 30 cm long. This species is a model organism in neuroscience and was used by Andrew Huxley and Alan Hodgkin in their studies on axon s. They are also used for research on replicating their camouflage abilities due to the chromatophores in their skin, which reflect a different color depending on the angle at which the light is hitting them.

E. Verrill Verrill , 1881 subdivision ranks Genus Genera subdivision Idioteuthis br Mastigoteuthis The Mastigoteuthidae , also known as whip lash squid , are a family of small deep sea squid . Approximately 20 known species in two genera are represented, with members found in both the pelagic zone mesopelagic and bathypelagic zone of most oceans. Originally described by Verill in 1881, it was later lowered by Chun 1920 to a subfamily Mastigoteuthinae of the Chiroteuthidae , which are also called whip lash squid on occasion. However, Roper et al. 1969 raised it back to the family level, and this has not been changed since. Description Mastigoteuthids range in size from quite small species in the genus Mastigoteuthis , to relatively gigantic sizes in the genus Idioteuthis . However most are rather small, from 3&ndash 15 centimetres total mantle mollusc mantle length. Their most distinctive features are their extremely elongate tentacle s&mdash which retract into membranous lateral sheaths of the fourth and largest cephalopod arm arm s&mdash and their very large ovate fins, which may occupy up to 80 of the mantle length in some species. It is from these whip like tentacles that their common name derives.
