Fifty young squids were obtained from the samples collected with 8 oblique tows of the 10-foot IKPT in the Antarctic and Indian Oceans during February-March, 1987 on the JARE-28 cruise. Seven species were identified among which Alluroteuthis antarcticus was the dominant. The distribution patterns differ by species and they are correlated with oceanographic domains. The Antarctic endemic species tended to be abundant in near coastal water suggesting the importance of mixing waters of Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and coastal water for their reproduction.
