Energetic Squids [Eogonatus]

Energetic Squids
Description

Eogonatus is a genus of squids in the family Gonatidae, often referred to as energetic squids due to their vigorous swimming ability. These squids have a streamlined body conducive to fast movement and active predation. They are distinguished by their light-producing organs, which are thought to play a role in communication and in luring prey. Eogonatus species are found in the North Pacific, where they are an important part of the pelagic ecosystem.
