Todarodes sagittatus (Lamarck, 1798)
Maximum reported mantle length is up to 750 mm, but usually about 350 mm. Distribution is mostly confined to the low boreal, tropical and equatorial waters in the eastern Atlantic, along the European and African shores; in some years foraging shoals occasionally enter the Arctic: Greenland waters, Norwegian Sea, Barents Sea and even the Kara Sea. The species is an epi- mesopelagic, neritic species, but has been found at 5000 m water depth. It has been an important source for fisheries and its biology is well known.It was not found during BIOICE program, and no voucher specimens are in collections of IINH.
