Loligo is a genus of squid and one of the most representative and widely distributed groups of myopsid squid. The genus was first described by Jean Baptiste Lamarck in 1798. However, the name had been used earlier than Lamarck (Schneider, 1784; Linnaeus, 1758) and might even have been used by Pliny. In the early 19th century, this generic name ...

The European squid or common squid (Loligo vulgaris) is a large squid belonging to the family Loliginidae. It occurs abundantly in coastal waters from the North Sea to at least the west coast of Africa.

The European squid or common squid (Loligo vulgaris) is a large squid belonging to the family Loliginidae. It occurs abundantly in coastal waters from the North Sea to at least the west coast of Africa.

The total annual catch of the species in the Adriatic Sea (GFCM) is about 1.000 to 1.500 tonnes. It shows wide variations and this is probably linked to the production cycle that is typical for many cephalopods (Mannini and Massa, 2000). Lologo spp. capture fishery production (Adriatic Sea*).

Squid ink from Loligo spp. also possesses a wide range of biological roles. It has leukocyte-number elevating, anti-retrovirus ( Rajaganapathi et al., 2000 ) and anti-bacterial properties. In recent years the exhaustive development of medicines from marine sources has resulted in the crucial search for effective cell-protective medicines from ...

Loligo forbesii (sometimes erroneously [3] spelled forbesi), known commonly as the veined squid and long-finned squid, is a commercially important species of squid in the family Loliginidae, the pencil squids. This squid grows up to 90 centimetres (35 in) in mantle length.

Certaines espèces comme Loligo forbesii régulent leur flottabilité par échanges gazeux. Le manteau de l'animal délimite en son centre une cavité dite palléale* emplie d'eau et qui s'ouvre vers l'extérieur par un tube en forme d'entonnoir appelé siphon*.

Loligo species are the common inshore squids of the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Several species are targets of substantial fisheries. Although the biology of some species of Loligo (e.g., L. vulgaris, L. reynaudii ) is among the best known of any cephalopod, considerable controversy remains about their taxonomy and systematic relationships.
